The use of part-time workers as an aggregate planning option may be less costly than using full-time workers, but may also reduce quality levels.

TRUE

The Dine Corporation is both a producer and a user of brass couplings. The firm operates 220 days a year and uses the couplings at a steady rate of 50 per day. Couplings can be produced at a rate of 200 per day in the fabrication department. Annual storage cost is $ 2 per coupling, and machine set up cost is $ 70 per run. 21) Determine the economic production quantity. 22) Approximately how many setups (or runs) per year will be there? 23) Compute the maximum inventory level. 24) Determine the length of the pure consumption portion of the cycle (i.e. when no fabrication of the coupling is taking place). 25) If the production rate of couplings reduces to 40 per day due to machine breakdown, what will be the new maximum inventory level?

21. D = 50*220 = 11,000 units; S = $ 70, p = 200 units/day; d = 50 units/day Qp = 1,013 units obtained from formula (1 / ) * 2 H d p Q DS p 22. D/ Qp = 11,000/1013 = 10.86, or approximately 11 runs 23. Imax= Qp(p - d)/p = 1013 (200 - 50)/200 = 759.6 or 760 units 24. Length of cycle = Qp/d = 1013/50 = 20.26 days Length of run = Qp/p = 1013/200 = 5.065 days Length of pure consumption = Length of cycle - Length of run = 20.26 - 5.065 = 15.20 days 25. This model will only work if production rate (p) is greater than the rate of use (d). In this case since p is less than d, Dine Corp will never have any inventory on hand.
