I thought level production was supposed to be more balanced?

Wait, how did they come up with these numbers?

I’m leaning towards 112, seems reasonable.

Definitely not, it’s 125 for sure!
NA
Nakita

I think the production rate is 110.

I believe the production rate should be based on the total demand divided by the number of periods. I just can't recall the exact numbers we used in practice.

I’m a bit lost on this one. I thought the production rate was just the average demand, but now I’m second-guessing myself.

This question feels familiar! I think we practiced a similar one where we had to determine the production rate based on demand and capacity.

I remember we discussed level production plans in class, but I'm not entirely sure how to calculate the production rate.

This is a good practice question. I'll apply the level production plan concept to determine the production rate.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key is to find the total demand and divide it by the number of periods.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Let me re-read the question and think through the steps.

I'm a little confused on this one. I know JIT is about minimizing inventory, but I'm not sure if that automatically means it has to be preceded by ship-to-stock. Maybe it could also be related to having multiple suppliers or a customer-supplier partnership. I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

Wait, wait, wait... did someone say 'level production plan'? I thought we were talking about a 'lever production plan' where you just pull the lever and the widgets come out. *chuckles* Ah, the joys of manufacturing humor.

B: So, what do you think the production rate per period is?

A: Haha, that would be convenient! But no, we're talking about a level production plan here.

This is a tricky one. I'm going to have to take a closer look at the image and do some calculations. *scratches head* Okay, I think I've got it - the answer is A) 108. Gotta love these brain teasers!
AV

Aha! I've got it. The answer is D) 125. Why? Because the production rate should be higher than the average demand to build up inventory and ensure a smooth production flow. Simple!
MA

Yes, it's important to build up inventory and maintain a smooth production flow with a higher production rate.
CO

I agree, having a production rate higher than the average demand is essential for a level production plan.
BR

Great job! You're right, the production rate should be higher than the average demand.
AL

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The image shows a lot of numbers, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to apply them to the question. I guess I'll just go with my gut and pick C) 112.
JU
Junita

I think the answer is B) 110. The level production plan aims to maintain a constant production rate throughout the planning horizon, and based on the information provided in the image, the production rate per period should be 110 units.
JA
Jade

So the correct answer is definitely B) 110.
NU

I think we can eliminate A) 108 and D) 125 based on the information given.
RU

That makes sense, the level production plan requires a constant production rate.
JE

I agree, the answer is B) 110.
