OVERWORKED INC has 3 resources (Resource A, Resource B and Resource C) in its production process. The production process involves 3 products (Product A, Product B and Product C) being processed through these 3 resources. Currently, there is demand for 800 units of Product A, 1,200 units of Product B and 200 units of Product C per day. The processing times for each product at different resource levels is given in the table below:
| Product A | Product B | Product C | |
| Resource A | 0.72 minutes | 0.72 minutes | |
| Resource B | 1.584 minutes | 1.584 minutes | |
| Resource C | 1.584 minutes | 1.584 minutes |
Product C is not processed at Resource A. Product B is not processed at Resource B and Resource C.
Assume that each work day has 24 hours.
a) Find the implied utilization for Resource A.
b) Find the implied utilization for Resource B.
c) Find the implied utilization for Resource C.
d) What is the highest implied utilization.
e) Find the maximum daily flow rate of Product A
f) Find the maximum daily flow rate of Product B
g) Find the maximum daily flow rate of Product C
h) Find the actual daily flow rate of Product A
i) Find the actual daily flow rate of Product B
j) Find the actual daily flow rate of Product C
k) Find the daily process capacity
Assuming that demand for each of the 3 products (Product A, Product B and Product C) changes to 100 units per day, answer the following questions:
l) Find the maximum daily flow rate of Product A
m) Find the maximum daily flow rate of Product B
n) Find the maximum daily flow rate of Product C
o) Find the actual daily flow rate of Product A
p) Find the actual daily flow rate of Product B
q) Find the actual daily flow rate of Product C
