1. Workload Balancing Digital Imaging (DI) produces photo printers for both the professional and consumer markets. The DI consumer division recently introduced two photo printers that provide color prints rivalling those produced by a professional processing lab. The DI910 model can produce a 10cm15cm borderless print in approximately 37 seconds. The more sophisticated and faster DI950 can even produce a 35cm50cm borderless print. Financial projections show profit contributions of $42 for each DI-910 and $87 for each DI-950. The printers are assembled, tested and packaged at DI's plant located in Shanghai. This plant is highly automated and uses two manufacturing lines to produce the printers. Line 1 performs the assembly operation with times of three minutes per DI-910 printer and six minutes per DI-950 printer. Line 2 performs both the testing and packaging operations. Times are four minutes per DI-910 printer and two minutes per DI-950 printer. The shorter time for the DI-950 printer is a result of its faster print speed. Both manufacturing lines are in operation one eight-hour shift per day. Requirement: Perform an analysis for Digital Imaging in order to determine how many units of each printer to produce. The recommended number of units of each printer to produce to maximize the total contribution to profit for an eight-hour shift. 1.
