Abstract
Cosmar is a small company with a large materials management problem. Demand is highly seasonal and there is sufficient data to construct and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the major production smoothing alternatives. Numerous other issues, including inept purchasing, chronic parts shortages, and low productivity, make the case a good one to introduce or wrap up a course segment on materials management.
