Study Case 6 - Erin's Energy Plan (New)
I.
Overview
The financial status of Waylan Industries were not looking good. The latest figures
had shown that profits were down inspite of increased sales because the cost of
production was to high and it had consequently reduced profitability by a huge margin.
It was also determined that the exponential jump in energy prices by as much as 250
percent had resulted in the high energy costs the company had incurred.
Waylan Industries want to develop an aggregate plan. Data that relate to
production, demand, capacity, and cost are shown in table below.
