ABC Co. makes tables which are sold in kits to be assembled by the customer. The Master Production Schedule calls for the manufacture of 80 and 200 tables in Weeks 5 and 6 respectively:

Week 1 2 3 4 5 6
MPS Quantity -- -- -- -- 80 200

The components of the table (tops and legs) have the following data:

Operation

Top (1 needed)
Machine Setup Time (min) Run Time (min)
1 Saw 10 5
2 Planer 40 20

Operation

Leg (4 needed)
Machine Setup Time (min) Run Time (min)
1 Saw 10 1
2 Sander 52.5 17

The lot size for both tops and legs is 100 units. Lead time for every operation is 1 week. Historically the load proportions on the machines have been as follows:
