Problem 5-4(Algo)
AlwaysRain Irrigation, Inc. would like to determine capacity requirements for the next four years. Currently, two production lines are in place for making bronze and plastic sprinklers. Three types of sprinklers are available in both bronze and plastic: 90-degree nozzle sprinklers, 180-degree nozzle sprinklers, and 360-degree nozzle sprinklers. Management has forecast demand for the next four years as follows:
YEARLY DEMAND1(IN 000s)2(IN 000s)3(IN 000s)4(IN 000s)Plastic 9034415456Plastic 18012191415Plastic 36049546469Bronze 9098714Bronze 18033912Bronze 3607111516
Both production lines can produce all the different types of nozzles. The bronze machines needed for the bronze sprinklers require three operators and can produce up to 15,000 sprinklers. The plastic injection molding machine needed for the plastic sprinklers requires five operators and can produce up to 235,000 sprinklers. Three bronze machines and only one injection molding machine are available.
What are the capacity requirements for the next four years? (Assume that there is no learning.)(Enter the demand values in thousands. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
