You manage the production process in the high-tech facility of Dale Computers Inc. The facility produces two products (X&Y) - see Product Make Up & Annual Demand table for details. The facility consists of three different assembly lines - see Assembly Capability & Capacity Table below.

The production process begins with the procurement of raw materials from suppliers. Next, the raw materials are processed into six independent subassemblies, AF, in separate work areas within the facility. Each product is then assembled on one of the assembly lines (see Subassembly & Post Assembly Capacity Table for sub assembly details). Following assembly, each product is finished, customized (painted and other options added), packaged and shipped. Current trends indicate that 20% of product X and 50% of product Y are customized.

Product Make Up & Annual Demand
Product	Sub-assemblies required for one unit of product	Annual Unit Sales
X	A= 2, B=1, C=1, E=1	52,000
Y	B=1, C=1, D=2, E=2, F=1	52,000
Notes:	(1) Assume 52 operating weeks/year.
	(2) Plan production to meet annual demand (do not overproduce).
