Dear Management:
Aggregate operations planning and total quality management are important concepts that must be implemented within the production of the Riordan fan. Aggregate operations planning will be used to control the costs of the manufacturing venture in China. Aggregate operations planning will be used to predict the necessary materials for the production of the fan. The next three months will use aggregate operations planning to use previous sales numbers to supply parts for fan production. Aggregate planning will also be used for production of the new fan design based on predicted sales number, including a 40% increase in sales.
Total quality management will be used to ensure that the production quality in China meets expected quality standards that customers of Riordan have come to expect. A quality plan must be implemented, possibly with incentives for employees, to meet these standards. Instilling in the employee’s the pride of producing quality products will be vital to the total quality approach.

Sincerely,

Christopher Lyons

Finally, an implementation plan for MRP, supply...
