Chase Approach
y
Advantages
Investment in inventory is low Labor utilization in high
Disadvantages
The cost of adjusting output rates and/or workforce levels
13-13
Level Approach
y
Advantages
Stable output rates and workforce
Disadvantages
Greater inventory costs Increased overtime and idle time Resource utilizations vary over time

Mathematical Techniques
Linear programming: Methods for obtaining optimal solutions to problems involving allocation of scarce resources in terms of cost minimization. Simulation models: Computerized models that can be tested under different scenarios to problems.
13-16
Solution
Heuristic (trial and error) Optimizing
Characteristics
Intuitively appealing, easy to understand; solution not necessarily optimal. Computerized; linear assumptions not always valid. Computerized models can be examined under a variety of conditions.

Services occur when they are rendered Demand for service can be difficult to predict Capacity availability can be difficult to predict Labor flexibility can be an advantage in services

Disaggregation
Master Schedule
13-19
Master schedule: The result of disaggregating an aggregate plan; shows quantity and timing of specific end items for a scheduled horizon. Rough-cut capacity planning: Approximate balancing of capacity and demand to test the feasibility of a master schedule.
