Planning Strategies
Chase strategy: A strategy that involves hiring and laying
off employees to match the demand forecast.
Level-utilization strategy: A strategy that keeps the
workforce constant, but varies its utilization to match the
demand forecast.
Level-inventory strategy: A strategy that relies on
anticipation inventories, backorders, and stockouts to
keep both the output rate and the workforce constant.
Mixed strategy: A strategy that considers and implements
a fuller range of reactive alternatives than any one “pure”
strategy.
Constraints and Costs
The planner usually considers several types of costs when preparing sales
and operations plans.
1. Regular-Time Costs: These costs include regular-time wages plus
contributions to benefits, Social Security, retirement funds, and pay
for vacations and holidays.
2. Overtime Costs: Overtime wages typically are 150 percent of
regular-time wages.
3. Hiring and Layoff Costs: Include the costs of advertising jobs,
interviews,training programs, exit interviews, severance pay, and
lost productivity.
