With Xls :

1. Make the aggregate planning for each month (Evaluate for each month the daily
demand; Evaluate the available products in the end of each month; evaluate the
reorder point).
2. Disaggregate the monthly schedule and propose a file which will be used for the
replenishment that Bababass company will send to Zaza at the beginning of
January.
3. Bababass Supply Chain manager proposes to split the inventory with Zaza by
reducing time delay for replenishment. The safety stock is not modified by this
idea. Than, the time delay for replenishment is 2 days. Could you evaluate:
- The stock level for Zaza and for Bababass each day after each day;
- The file that Bababass company will send to Zaza at the beginning of January if
this scenario is validated.
