Hint - Week 5 Chapter 10: see M35 (Excel) \& Q22 (discussion) There are three distinct types of digital devices; namely TX (base model). TY (mid-range model) and TZ (top-range model), which DBS Manufacturing Company makes and sells to its customers.

Each machine and operator run a daily nine-hour shift with 60 minutes lunch break and 30 minutes for operator breaks. (10) What is the total workload (demand) in hours for the above work order mix? (11) How many machines will it take to do this work in one, two or three days? What might you say if Das asked for your expert advice on how might this process be further improved? (4 marks) (4 marks) (12) Des is contemplating increasing its long-term capacity in light of its strategic decision to enter new markets.
