Andy is a rm believer in waking up early each morning to start his day. His passion for waking up early drove him to start his own business of making alarm clocks for deep sleepers. He knows that total monthly demand next month exceeds his capacity available for production. He produces 3 types of alarm clocks: vibrating, sunrise and foghorn. Each of these 3 alarm clock models pass through 3 stations in the assembly process. Andy estimates demand for next month to be 140 units of Vibrating clocks, 170 units of Sunrise clocks, and 195 units of Foghorn clocks. Andy's Alarms operates two 4-hour shifts per day and are scheduled to work 20 days next month. Additionally, each station requires a 10% capacity cushion.
