month. Skycell currently has a no-layoff policy in place' overtime is limited to a maxiillum of 20 hours per month per employee.

Thus, monthly production including overtime should be no more than 1,291,667 . what would be the cost of this level production schedule? what is the value of overtime flexibiity?
