Each model's price, routing, processing times, and material cost is provided in the flowchart. Demand next month is estimated to be 200 units of model Alpha, 225 model Charlie, and 275 units of model Delta. CRGW operates only one 8 hours shift per day and is scheduled to work 20 days next month (no overtime). Further, each station requires a 10% capacity cushion.
