31) A firm uses the pure chase strategy of aggregate plan-
ning. It produced 1000 units in the last period. Demand
in the next period is estimated at 800, and demand over
the next six periods (its aggregate planning horizon) is
estimated to average 900 units. Which of the following
tactics would be most representative of following a chase
D
strategy?
A) add 100 units to inventory in the next period
B) add 200 units to inventory in the next period
C) hire workers to match the 100-unit difference
D) lay off workers to match the 200-unit difference
E) implement a lower price point to increase demand
5) A firm uses graphical techniques in its aggregate plan-
ning efforts. Over the next twelve months (its intermediate
period), it estimates the sum of demands to be 105,000
units. The firm has 250 production days per year. In Janu-
ary, which has 22 production days, demand is estimated
to be 11,000 units. A graph of demand versus level pro-
duction will show that:
A) the January requirement is below level production of
C
420 units.
B) level production is approximately 1000 units per day.
C) level production of 420 units per day is below the
January requirement.

month.

January.
