They have a single manufacturing facility located in the Haight-Ashbury area on San Francisco, CA that supplies their products across the world. While they have many different SKUs, for the purpose of aggregate planning they have converted all items into a common flow unit. The costs have also been standardized.

The details are shown below:

The levers that they have available are:
Size of workforce – Hiring and firing each month is permitted at a cost
Overtime Hours – Employees can work beyond normal hours at extra cost
Inventory Level – Inventory at the end of each month
Backorder – Customers are willing to wait for delivery
Production Level – How many units to manufacture with internal resources
Outsourced – how many units to manufacture using a contract manufacturer

The demands for the next 12 months are:
January February March April
2800 2800 1000 920
May June July August
780 950 1050 1200
September October November December
2000 2500 3000 2800

Other details for formulating cost structures and constraints are provided below:

Arriving and delivering a load of company executives for a business meeting at a destination far from home base requiring an overnight stay, a company’s pilot requested approval from the company finance office to pay to either have the company’s jet brought into the fbo's hangar overnight to protect it from a forecast snowfall or to have it de-iced by the fbo the following morning well-before scheduled departure. the company was under considerable financial pressure at the time, and the pilot’s requests were denied because of the cost. so, early the following morning, the pilot was up on the wing of the jet sweeping off an accumulation of snow and ice with a borrowed push broom in preparation for the scheduled departure with the executives, but slipped and fell to the ground, suffering a broken neck. the business was organized as a limited partnership, owned by 3 limited partners and one general partner. as a cost-saving measure, the company had dropped its workers’ compensation insurance before the accident. analyze the potential liability for the pilot’s injuries of each of the following, showing your reasoning clearly: the company the general partner the limited partners analyze how the outcome would have been different, if the business had been organized as a corporation and observed all of the formalities to legitimize its corporate status. analyze how the outcome would have been different, if the pilot had been covered by workers’ compensation insurance.
