    This document provides instructions for a mini-assignment on supply chain management due on March 7, 2019. Students are asked to solve the Wilkins case study using a chase strategy, where ending inventory must equal safety stock and production isn't constrained to be equal each quarter. Optionally, students can solve the case using a hybrid strategy, which differs from the level strategy in that production isn't constrained to be equal each quarter and ending inventory can exceed safety stock.

    Mini-Assignment 6
    General Instructions:

    1. This is an individual assignment, but you are welcome to discuss it with as many students
    (past/present/future) as you like. All I want in the end is that the submitted work should
    be your own and complete.
    2. You must submit your solution on Moodle.
    3. The assignment is due Thursday, March 7, 2019, 11:55 pm sharp.

    1. Solve the Wilkins case for the chase strategy. There are two differences from the
    formulation that we solved (for the level strategy) in the class, which are as follows:
    a. The ending inventory in each quarter is now required to be equal to the safety
    stock.
    b. The constraint(s) on production being equal in each quarter should be removed.
    2. (Optional) Solve the Wilkins case for the hybrid strategy. Compared to the level
    strategy, the only difference is that there is no constraint on production being equal in
    each quarter. Therefore, production can be different in each quarter and ending
    inventory in a quarter can be greater than the safety stock.
