The rival firm did not default - so your demand is back to the original values (Region 1: 25, Region 2: 95, and Region 3: 80). The management of Plant 2 has suggested they may use some of the available space in the plant for an on-site packaging machine. With such a machine in place, Plant 2 would be able to bypass the DCs and ship directly to Region 1. Direct transport from Plant 2 to Region 1 costs $275 per ton. All other costs remain the same as in Part 2. If Plant 2 invests in a on-site sand packaging machine, how many tons of sand should be delivered directly from Plant 2 to Region 1? Round your answer to the nearest integer. Submit You have used 0 of 2 attempts Save After investing in the new machine, a breakdown in DC B reduces the weekly capacity of DC B to 80 tons. All other costs and demand remain the same as in Part 2. (Note that the bypass option from Part 4 remains.) How many tons of sand should Plant 1 produce if the capacity of DC B drops to 80 tons? There is no capacity constraint for DC A. Round your answer to the nearest integer.
