Using the cut-and-try method for aggregate operations planning, we can determine the production requirement in units of product. If beginning inventory is 4,000 units, the demand forecast is 2,900 units, and the required safety stock is 10 percent of the demand forecast, what is the production requirement?
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
0 (zero)
Demand = 2,900; 10% of demand = 290; Inventory = 4,000; thus, 2,900 + 290 - 4,000 = (minus) 810, therefore, produce zero.
