Aggregate Planning and Resource Planning

Aggregate planning is concerned with determining the quantity and timing of production in:

• short term

• intermediate term

• long term

• all of the above

Aggregate planning may require:

• forecast value

• measurable items

• method for determining the cost

• all of the above

Disaggregation is:

• the varying of workforce size

• the process of breaking an aggregate plan into greater detail

• the process of planning for long term

• the process of breaking a forecast into aggregate plan

Demand options may include the following, except

• Using part-time workers

• Influencing demand

• Back ordering during high-demand periods

• Counter-seasonal product and service mixing

Combination of capacity options and demand options in aggregate planning strategy may lead to:

• complete strategy

• chase strategy

• run strategy

• compete strategy

Which one of the following is the aggregate planning method that does not require complicated computation?

• Charting method

• Counter-seasonal

• Graphical method

• None of the above

• RM105,900

• RM105,800

• RM105,700

• RM105,600
