1. How might Aggregate Production Planning (APP) benefit Wilkins? What are the risks of using APP at Wilkins?
2. What constraints are most critical in the development of the aggregate plan at Wilkins? Why?
3. Calculate the safety stock for PVBs for each quarter. (σQ1 = 1877, σQ2 = 3361, σQ3 = 3851, σQ1 = 1877 and σQ4 = 8154). Assume the formula SS = z σtL1/2
4. Create a APP that minimises costs.
5. As Connors, would you suggest using APP?
