For the past 5 years, archer's burgers has produced frozen vegan burger patties viaa combination of in-house manufacturing and subcontracting. their 'historical plan' has always been to hold staffing steady and make 500 cases per month (consider this as previous period's production) via regular time production at a cost of $55 per case. they then utilized inventory and subcontracting to meet any additional monthly demand, as backorders are not acceptable to their customers. the subcontractor, normally a direct competitor, charges archer's $75 per case. there is currently no inventory. looking ahead, the operations manager forecasts demand of:

jan feb march april may june
500 600 500 700 500 600

what would the costs be to continue to follow the 'historical plan'?

the operations manager is considering a second plan. in this scenario, the plant will increase regular time production to 600 units per month for the first 5 months (january-may), then drop back to 400 units in june. the cost of increasing or decreasing capacity is $5 per unit of increase or decrease. inventory costs $10 per case per month. (note: this plan does not result in any lost sales.)
what is the cost of the second plan?
the final plan (which includes all costs and demands mentioned so far) would be to produce 550 units per month regular time, and outstource only when necessary to avoid any lost sales. what is the cost of plan 3?

You work as the sales manager for a company that sells office supplies to businesses of all sizes. because the profit margins are razor-thin, you need to ensure that you are getting the very best prices on paper, pencils, pens, post-it notes, and other office supplies from the manufacturers. when reviewing the quarterly profit statement, you realize that your costs are higher than they should be, and you trace the higher costs back to an employee who has been lax about getting competitive bids to ensure the lowest prices. when you conduct your research to determine the reason for the higher costs, and take action to bring those costs back down, in which of the key management processes are you taking part?
