1. A manufacturer of tires produces two kinds of tires. The premium tire, The Last -Forever, is a steel -belted, puncture -resistant, long -wear tire that holds all records for quality within the industry. The other tire, Lane -Handler, is a simple low cost 40,000 mile warranty unbranded tire. The Last -Forever contributes $50 per tire to the bottom line for the company, while the Lane -Handler contributes only $10 to the bottom line. Both tires are manufactured at the same factory and require the same machines to be produced. Malchine A and machine B are both used in the two-step process used to make the tires. The time consumed in hours on each machine to fabricate a tire are given
below.
Total Hours
Lane -Handler Last -Forever Available
Machine A 1 4 120
Machine B 2 2 100
Twenty Lane -Handlers have been promised to a valued dealer and 4 Last-Forevers have been
promised the owner's son.
(a) Find the product mix that maximizes profit.
(b) What is the OV?
(c) If machine B hours could be increased to 120, then what would be the change in the OV?
(d) What would be the impact if a maintenance problem reduced available machine A hours to 100?
2. Karma Computers produces two computer models, Standard and Deluxe. A Standard model is produced by assembling a single disk drive with a Standard Chassis.
