Planning with limiting factors





                           Introduction





                             Firms face many constraints on their activity and plan accordingly.
                             Examination questions will focus on the problem of scarce resources
                             that prevent the normal plan being achieved.

               For example, a firm is facing a labour shortage this month due to sickness. As a
               result, the firm cannot produce the number of units that it would like to.




                             How should its production plan be revised?
