Four products are to be manufactured in Department A, and it is desired to determine how to
\r\nallocate resources in that department to meet the required demand for these products for a certain
\r\nweek. For product 1, demand = 750/wk, setup time = 6 hr, and operation time = 4.0 min. For
\r\nproduct 2, demand = 900/wk, setup time = 5 hr, and operation time = 3.0 min. For product 3,
\r\ndemand = 400/wk, setup time = 7 hr, and operation time = 2.0 min. For product 4, demand =
\r\n400/wk, setup time = 6 hr, and operation time = 3.0 min. The plant normally operates one shift
\r\n(7.0 hours per shift), five days per week and there are currently 3 work centers in the department.
\r\nPropose a way of scheduling the machines to meet the weekly demand.
