Machine 1 has a scrap factor of 20%, and machine 2 has a scrap factor of 10%. The assembly process has a scrap factor of 15%. Another part, Part C, is produced on machine 5 and has a scrap estimate of 25%. Part C and the subassembly comprison of Part A and Part B are assembled at assembly station 6 into the completed product.
Each day, 15,000 units of the completed product are required to meet demand. Assuming that machine 3 and assembly station 6 have scrap factors of 30% each, what are the requirements for Parts A, B, and C in order to meet the daily demand for the completed product?
