Calculating Production Quantities for equal Days on Hand

**PJM1981** · 09-17-2013, 02:08 AM

Having trouble with aligning a production schedule to produce the same number of days on hand [DOH] across three packaging types. A total of 480.3 units has to be produced across the three packaging types. All three packaging types have different inventory levels and daily rate of sales [DROS]. how do I solve for A, B, and C so that X = the same number of days:

Product Inventory DROS Breakdown DOH
Type A 193 9.19 a x
Type B 36 1.72 b x
Type C 17 0.81 c x

480.3

Please attach a sample workbook with enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

Thanks!

I'm not sure, but I hope this is enough information to go off of.

Thanks,

Thanks for the sample file and request you to explain how you are arriving 480.3 as result? and where?

480.3 is a minimum batch run, every time this product is made 480.3 units is produced. I've attached an updated worksheet with two tabs. The first tab outlines my problem, I cannot figure out how to accommodate existing inventory (where I'm having issues is highlighted in yellow). The second tab shows how this is easily calculated if inventory on all three items is zero. Is this more helpful?
