17. Factory X is trying to use level use scheduling. If their first target were to cut the current lot size in half, by what proportion must setup cost change? What is demand option in aggregate planning?Demand-based options
A group of options that respond to demand fluctuations through the use of inventory or back orders, or by shifting the demand pattern. Reactive options, in which the operations department uses inventories and back orders to react to demand fluctuations.
What are 3 types of aggregate plan?3 Types of Aggregate Planning Strategies. Level Strategy: The goal of an aggregate planning strategy is to keep the production rate and the workforce level. ... . Chase Strategy: As the name implies, you are chasing market demand. ... . Hybrid Strategy: There is a third alternative, which is a hybrid of the previous two strategies.. Which of the following is not a input of aggregate planning?Therefore, all the given options are in the form of an input to the aggregate planning procedure, except - the master production schedules. Chapter 11 - Aggregate Planning and Master Scheduling37.
What are the three demand options for aggregate capacity planning?Aggregate capacity management is generally a three-step process—measuring aggregate demand and capacity levels for the planning period, identifying alternative capacity plans in case of demand fluctuations, and choosing an appropriate capacity plan.
