In the current no-backlogging problem, SureStep 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 reoptimize. Is there now hiring and overtime? With this new demand pattern, explore the trade-off between hiring and overtime by running a two-way SolverTable. As inputs, use the hiring cost per worker and the maximum overtime hours allowed per worker per month, varied as you see fit. As outputs, use the total number of workers hired over the 4 months and the total number of overtime hours used over the 4 months. Write up your results in a short memo to SureStep management.
