Question:

Consider three batch processes, producing products A, B, and C, as illustrated in Table E3.3. Each process uses the four pieces of equipment in the same sequence but for different times.Table E3.3 Equipment Times (in Hours) Needed to Produce A, B, and C Product Time in Mixer Time in Reactor

Market demand dictates that equal numbers of batches of the three products be produced over a prolonged period of time. Determine the total number of batches that can be produced in a production cycle equal to one month of operation of the plant using separate campaigns for each product, assuming that a month of operation is equivalent to 500 h (based on 1/12 of a 6000 h year for a three-shift plant operating five days per week).
