Capacities of production of an item over 3 consecutive months are 100, 100 and 80 and in overtime are 20, 20 and 40. The demands over those 3 months are 90, 130 and 110. The cost of production in regular time and overtime are respectively Rs. 20 per item and Rs. 24 per item. Inventory carrying cost is Rs. 2 per item per month. The levels of starting and final inventory are nil. Backorder is not permitted. For minimum cost of plan, the level of planned production in overtime in the third month is

The maximum level of inventory of an item is 100 and it is achieved with infinite replenishment rate. The inventory becomes zero over one and half month due to consumption at a uniform rate. This cycle continues throughout the year. Ordering cost is Rs. 100 per order and inventory carrying cost is Rs. 10 per item per month. Annual cost (in Rs.) of the plan, neglecting material cost, is

In a machine shop, pins of 15 mm diameter are produced at a rate of 1000 per month and the same is consumed at a rate of 500 per month. The production and consumption continue simultaneously till the maximum inventory is reached. Then inventory is allowed to reduce to zero due to consumption. The lot size of production is 1000. If backlog is not allowed, the maximum inventory level is

A moving average system is used for forecasting weekly demand. \( F_1(t) \) and \( F_2(t) \) are sequences of forecasts with parameters \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \), respectively, where \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) (\( m_1 > m_2 \)) denote the numbers of weeks over which the moving averages are taken. The actual demand shows a step increase from \( d_1 \) to \( d_2 \) at a certain time. Subsequently,
