ABC Company, a manufacturer of roofing supplies, has developed monthly forecasts for roofing tiles. The forecasted demand and the expected production days for months March to August in 2013 are given below: Month Forecasted demand (units) Production days March 2400 23 April 4500 20 May 2600 22 June 7000 20 July 2000 23 August 3000 22 ABC works 8 regular hours in each working day and past experience shows that one worker takes 1 hour to produce one tile. The company has estimated that there would be 5 production workers working in February 2013 and 250 tiles in inventory at the end of February 2013. Labor Union restricts ABC that overtime hours cannot exceed 20% of straight time (regular) hours in each month. ABC wants to keep at least 200 tiles in inventory at the end of August 2013.
