  1. Chapter 11 Aggregate Planning

  2. Production Planning in Manufacturing

  3. Aggregate Demand Example

  4. Aggregate Planning How many workers are needed each quarter? (each worker works 520 hours per quarter) Labor hrs needed: # workers needed: Quarter

  5. Aggregate Planning 2 basic strategies: Matching Demand • matching capacity with aggregate demand • carry little inventory • change work force size Level Capacity • stable work force size • use inventory or backlog as buffer

  6. Level Capacity: Produce-to-Stock

  7. Level Capacity: Produce-to-Order

  8. Level Capacity: Produce-to-stock For each period, Beg.Inv. + Production = Demand + End.Inv. Given: beg. inv. in Qtr. 1 = 24; CC = $15 per unit per qtr.

  9. Level Capacity: Produce-to-order For each period, Production - Demand = Beg.Backlog - End.Backlog Given: beg. BL in Qtr. 1 = 31

  10. Quarterly demands for the coming year are 145, 150, 226, and 95 for a make-to-stock product. The company uses a level capacity plan. In any quarter that demand cannot be met by production and inventory on hand, a costly stockout will occur. What is the least amount of beginning inventory for the first quarter that can be used without having any stockout during the year? Show what the ending inventory level for each quarter would be.

  11. Level Capacity Plan or Matching Demand Plan Quarterly demand forecasts: 85, 107, 136, 124 Carrying cost rate: $68 per unit left at end of each qtr. Hiring/training cost rate: $125 per new person Layoff cost rate: $50 per person Initial inventory = 0 Currently 57 employees prior to Quarter 1 Labor standard = 250 hours per unit Each employee works 520 hours per quarter Which costs less, a level capacity plan or a matching demand plan?

  12. Level Capacity Plan

  13. Matching Demand Plan

  14. Rough-Cut Capacity Planning Labor standard = 24 hours per unit Weekly capacity = 5000 labor hours Week

  15. Week Shifting Production Earlier Produce:

  16. Straight-time vs. Overtime vs. Outsourcing Straight-time cost rate = $10 per hour Straight-time capacity = 20,000 hours per quarter Labor standard = 4 hours per unit Overtime cost rate = time-and-a-half Overtime capacity = 20% of straight-time capacity Outsourcing capacity = 1,000 units Outsourcing cost = $70 per unit (plus materials) Forecasted demand next quarter = 6,700 units Develop a production plan that minimizes total cost.
