Aggregate Planning and Just in Time Systems. "Aggregate Planning and Just in Time Systems" The following is a sample memo written to an immediate supervisor named Rhoda Waters. Rhoda has raised the possibility of switching from a chase demand strategy to a level-capacity strategy for aggregate planning. The memo will delineate the merits of one versus the other. The second part of the paper is a sample memo to Yvonne Williams. Yvonne Williams is as the new boss at the company for which I work. She is very anxious to use her training in the concept of 'Just in Time Systems.' She has proposed implementing such a system in my operation. In keeping the 'Just in Time' idea, Yvonne suggests that rather than preventive maintenance, I concentrate on Just in Time Repairs. Write a short memo explaining why having a good preventive maintenance program in place is necessary prior to implementing a Just in Time system.
