A small organization books a conference in your hotel for 5 days, 4 nights during the off season.

They will take 50 rooms, both the small and large conference rooms.  They will have 50 people attending, one per room.  You normally average 25 rooms during the off season.  (Note: the hotel has 90 rooms)

All meals Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner will be on site.  They will also require coffee, etc plus bagels in the morning and cookies and soda in the afternoon.  Some of their people plan to use the gym and indoor pool both before breakfast and after dinner.

So knowing that this is going to happen, tell us how MRP using the independent demand of an addition 50 people, 50 rooms, etc can help the hotel staff calculate all of the requirements this conference will present to the hotel.

Note:  a former graduate student, a few years back, worked for a small hotel chain while taking this course.  She gave me this problem because as the course was going on this conference was going on.  So it is a real life problem.  The good news for this student is that they had, not to far away, other hotels in the chain that they could call on to help with labor, materials, etc.
