Question:

15 (Requires the use of a spreadsheet or LINGO) The Carco plant in Bedford produces windshield wipers for Fords. In a given day, each machine in the plant can produce 1,000 wipers. The plant operates 250 days per year, and Ford will need 3 million wipers per year. It costs $50,000 per year to operate a machine. For each day that a wiper is delayed, a cost of $100 (due to production downtime at other plants) is incurred. How many machines should the Ford plant have? Assume that interarrival times and service times are exponential.
