A company wants to produce 500 units over the next 3 months at a level rate. The months have 19, 20 and 21 working days, respectively. On the average, how much should the company produce each day to level productions?

  1. 8.3 units
  2. 88.8 units

  4. None of these

Answer(s): A



Because of its labor contracts, a company must hire enough labor for 100 units of production per week on one shift or 200 units per week on two shifts, it cannot hire, layoff, or assign overtime. During the fourth week, workers will be available from another department to work part or all of an extra shift (up to 100 units). There is a planned shutdown for maintenance in the second week, which will cut production to half. Develop a production plan. The opening inventory is 200 units, and the desired ending inventory is 300 units.



If the opening backlog is 500 units, forecast demand is 700 units. And production is 800 units, what will be the ending backlog?

  1. 400 units
  2. 500 units
  3. 600 units
  4. All of these

Answer(s): A

  2. Cost of purchasing (item cost, purchasing, and transportation and inspection costs) may be greater than if the item were made in the plant.
  3. Inventories can be kept to a minimum
  4. No need to hire and train workers.

Answer(s): A
