I put together that summary of managerial levers you asked me for.

Materials cost/unit	$10
Inventory holding cost/unit/month	$2
Marginal cost of stockout/unit/month	$5
Hiring and training cost/worker	$300
Layoff cost/worker	$500
Labor hours required/unit	4
Regular time cost/hour	$4
Overtime cost/hour	$6
Beginning inventory equals	1000
Ending inventory greater than	500
Marginal subcontracting cost/unit	$30
