Question:

In the current no-backlogging problem, Sure Step doesn’t hire any workers and uses almost no overtime. This is evidently because of low demand. Change the demands to 6000, 8000, 5000, and 3000, and re-optimize. Is there now hiring and overtime? With this new demand pattern, explore the trade-off between hiring and overtime by running a two-way Solver Table. As inputs, use the hiring cost per worker and the maximum overtime hours allowed per worker per-month, varied in some reasonable way. As outputs, use the total number of workers hired over the four months and the total number of overtime hours used over the four months. Write up your results in a short memo to Sure Step management.
