First option: Increase the batch size. This option seemed pretty good because it didn't require an immediate purchase of any new equipment or hiring of any new employees. At face value, it seemed like the lowest-cost solution. That is until you start to consider the additional wear and tear on the mixing equipment that larger batch sizes would cause. Dewey had no way of knowing exactly how quickly the machinery would wear out if he increased the batch sizes, but he knew this was a drawback. Even though he'd like to avoid this option and extend the life of his mixers, Dewey wants to know exactly how large his batch size needs to be in order to meet the daily demand without changing either the number of cutting heads on the extruder or the setup time on the extruder. Working with whole batches only (no partial batches allowed), what batch size in pounds, rounded to the nearest tenth of a pound, is needed to meet his customer demand with out changing the number of cutting heads on the extruder or the setup time of the extruder?
