Chapter 20 Drum-Buffer-Rope Fisher Company produces two types of components for airplanes: A and B, with unit contribution margins of $400 and $600, respectively. The components pass through three sequential processes: cutting, welding, and assembly. Data pertaining to these processes and market demand are given below (weekly data). Resource Resource Available Resource Usage (A) Resource Usage (B) Cutting 300 machine hours Six hours Ten hours Welding 308 welding hours Ten hours Six hours Assembly 400 labor hours Four hours Ten hours Market demand (A) 50 One unit Zero units Market demand (8) 40 Zero units One unit Fisher Company has three sequential processes: cutting, welding, and assembly. Assume that the optimal mix is Component A = 0 units per week; and Component B = 30 units per week. Demand is uniformly spread out over the five-day work week. Fisher requires a 2.5-day buffer.
