TheABCCorporation manufactures four highly technical products that it supplies to aerospace firms that hold NASA contracts. Each of the products must pass through the following departments before they are shipped: wiring, drilling, assemble, and inspection. The time requirement in hours for each until produced and its corresponding profit value are summarized in the following table:
DEPARTMENT | |||||
PRODUCT | WIRING | DRILLING | ASSEMBLE | INSPECTION | UNIT PROFIT () |
XJ201 | 0.5 | 0.3 | 0.2 | 0.5 | 9 |
XM897 | 1.5 | 1 | 4 | 1 | 12 |
TR29 | 1.5 | 2 | 1 | 0.5 | 15 |
BR788 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 0.5 | 11 |
The production available in each department each month, and the minimum monthly production requirement to fulfill contracts, are as follows:
DEPARTMENT | CAPACITY (HOURS) | PRODUCT | MINIMUM PRODUCTION LEVEL |
WIRING | 15000 | XJ201 | 150 |
DRILLING | 17,000 | XM897 | 100 |
ASSEMBLY | 26000 | TR29 | 300 |
INSPECTION | 12000 | BR788 | 400 |
