Consider a 5-step process that includes cutting, drilling, stamping, welding, and painting. The cutting department has 5 machines that each process materials at a rate of 25 units per hour. Drilling has 3 machines that each process material at a rate of 12 units per hour. Stamping has 3 machines that each process material at a rate of 10 units per hour. Welding has 3 machines that each process materials at a rate of 15 units per hour. Painting has 3 machines that each process materials at a rate of 10 units per hour. You’ve been charged with improving the throughput of the process as much as possible. Your CFO has given you a maximum budget of $200,000 for capital expenditures and you will return any unused money to the CFO. Cutting machines cost $80,000 each. Drilling machines cost $60,000 each. Stamping machines cost $30,000 each. Welding machines cost $120,000 each. Painting machines cost $100,000 each. How kind of machines will you buy? And how many? Type the number of each machine you will purchase in order of cutting, drilling, stamping, welding, and painting. If there are multiple machines you could buy at the same time, go with the cheapest option. EX1, if you wanted 1 cutting, 0 drilling, 3 stamping, 0 welding, and 1 painting machines the answer would be 10301. EX2, if you wanted 0 cutting, 2 drilling, 2 stamping, 1 welding, and 0 painting machines the answer would be 02210.
