OVERVIEW
Congratulations! The work you did in helping Olde World Windows and Doors evaluate their capacity and
throughput challenges was very well received. Management has a much clearer picture of the nature of
the constraints they are experiencing and what options they should consider in addressing them. You are
now ready to move on and tackle demand and resource planning decisions.
The following problems require you to draw on what you have been reading in Krajewski and Malhotra’s
Operations Management: Processes and Supply Chains, specifically:
• Chapter 8: Forecasting (pp. 293–319)
• Chapter 9: Inventory Management (pp. 337–364)
• Supplement C: Special Inventory Models (pp.381–389)
• Chapter 10: Operations Planning and Scheduling (pp. 395–415)
• Chapter 11: Resource Planning (pp. 459–485)
