Human Resources Has settled the labors union by guaranteeing 40 hours minimum a week at $12/hour, but no OT. You expect 5500 direct labor hours standard per month.

Purchasing Agent Your POV is that Supply of raw material is plentiful and you agree with the Manufacturing Supervisor that in fact shipments are slow do to trucking constraints, you want to keep 10% of raw material on hand for next months production needs.
