Exercise a)

Following the format of the spreadsheet in Figure 2, develop a spreadsheet to forecast Fitter's
sales for July through December. Calculate the base projection using the previous year's values
(shown in Figure 1), and factor in the 3 percent estimated growth rate.

Assume that the special marketing promotion last year resulted in an increase in sales of 200
cases for July and that a special marketing promotion this year will result in an increase in sales
for July of 400 cases.

Solution Exercise a)

Exercise b)

Using the Fitter sales forecast for July through December that you created in Exercise a),
develop a spreadsheet for sales and operations planning for those same months. Use the
format of the spreadsheet shown in Figure 4. The number of working days for each month is
shown in Figure 3.

FIGURE 4 Fitter's sales and operations plan for January through June
For your production plan, try to keep the capacity utilization at 95 percent or less. To
disaggregate the plan for the group into plans for NRG-A and NRG-B bars, use 70 percent of
sales for NRG-A bars and 30 percent for NRG-B bars.

Develop a weekly production plan for August, like the one for January shown in Figure 5. For
the weekly sales periods, the last week will include two days in September. The factory
calendar information is shown in Figure 6.

Solution Exercise c)

Exercise d)

Develop an MRP record, similar to the one in figure 7, for wheat germ for the five weeks of
August. Wheat germ must be ordered in bulk-container quantities, so the planned orders must
be multiples of 2,000 pounds. Use a lead time of one week and an initial on-hand inventory of
3,184 pounds, assume that an order of 8,000 pounds is scheduled for receipt during Week 1.
Are there any weeks when you, as a planner, would consider planning an order above or below
the minimum required? Why? (Assume that there are no problems with storage capacity or
shelf life)
