Question

A local company makes athletic clothing and they are preparing aggregate production plans on a quarterly basis for the coming year for their line of women's wear. They have the following information available to develop a level capacity and a matching (chase) demand plan:
(Assume that pattern of demand repeats each year, that is the demand in quarter 4 of the previous year was 13,000 units)
Number of working days per quarter = 65 days
Number of hours per day per person = 8 hours
Labor to produce one unit = 5 hours
