The workforce requirements (expressed as number of employees) are given in the following table for the next six periods. Costs associated with operations are as follows: Wages = $800 per worker per month Hiring cost = $300 per worker Layoff cost = $200 per worker The current workforce level is nine workers, and the undertime is paid for.

The company has a zero backorder policy but has space for a maximum of 250 items in their finished-goods inventory. All extra costs are shown in the table. ​ October November December Forecasted Demand 2,100 1,900 2,350 Regular Capacity 2,000 2,000 2,000 Workforce level ​ ​ ​ Overtime ($50/unit) ​ ​ ​ Subcontracting ($120/unit) ​ ​ ​ Inventory holding ($15/unit) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total Cost ​ ​ ​ Use the information in Table 10.1.
