Example 3.1: A major imaging center is not able to meet the increased demand from patients for MRIs. The administration is willing to explore the possibilities by evaluating such alternatives as adding one or two additional units or out sourcing to other image centers and earning a commission of $30.00 per MRI. A feasibility analysis showed that three major demand chunks could occur in the future, summarized as 500, 750 and 1000 additional MRI requests.
