3. The president of Hill Enterprises, Terri Hill, projects the firm’s aggregate demand requirements over
the next eight months as follows:




Her operations manager is considering a new plan, which begins in January with 200 units on hand.
Stockout cost of lost sales is $100 per unit. Inventory holding cost is $20 per unit per month. Ignore any
idle-time costs. The plan is called Plan A.

Plan A: Vary the workforce level to execute a “chase” strategy by producing the quantity demanded in the
prior month. The December demand and rate of production are both 1600 units per month. The cost of
hiring additional workers is $5000 per 100 units. The cost of laying off workers is $7500 per 100 units.
Evaluate this plan.
