A processor makes two components, A and B, which are then packaged together as the final product (each productsold contains one A and one B). The processor can do only one component at a time: either it can make A or it can make B. There is a setup time when switching between A and B. Current plans are to make 50 units of A then 50 units of B. The setup time for A is 2 minutes and that for B is 3 minutes. The unit runtime for A is 0.2 minute and that for B is 0.1 minute. The packaging of the two components takes 0.3 minute per unit of the final product. There is one operator for the processor and one for packaging. What is the batch size that makes the process balanced?
