Please read the Three Jays Case and prepare a case review. This is a full case analysis.  I provide guiding questions below, that must be answered. However, these answers should be woven into your full case analysis.

Questions to be addressed within your case study:

1. Using the data in case Exhibit 4 and the 2012 annual demand, calculate the EOQ and ROP quantities for the five SKUs schedule to be produced in the last week of June.  How do these amounts compare with those calculated in 2011?  Compare the increases in EOQ’s with the increases in annual demand?

2. Brodie is uncertain if the costs presented in case Exhibit 2 are appropriate for determining the EOQs.  What changes would you recommend, and why?  Should the cost of the three idle part-time workers be included when the production line is down?  Using the 212 annual demand, and your recommendations recalculate the EOQs for the five SKUs.

3.  Compare your results with those obtained using the data in case Exhibit 2.  What do you attribute the differences to?  After speaking to Josh and Jake, Brodie is now sure if the EOQ model is the most appropriate for the current production process.  Evaluate the scheduling method that Jake and Josh are using .  Why are they not following the established system?

4. What recommendations should Brodie present to Jana Fremont at his next meeting with her?

Be certain to include in-text citations and then reference the works at the end of the document APA style.  From time to time, you will find it helpful to include quantitative analysis.  The best way to include this information is in an appendix, table or figure.
