The Gardener's Box of assorted soil enhancers from Green Acre Getaway Gardens has been featured on Good Morning America. The unique child safe and adult friendly package opening has received the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission 'Product of the Year' Award. Orders have increased substantially and the need to timely meet the demand from customers is critical. The operations manager, Taylor, is in charge of the MRP program. The Green Acre Getaway Gardens gift boxes are a collection of three types of coffee in a designer container.

The Gardener's Box (A) is composed of two bags of Day Lilly soil enhancers (D), two bags of Rose soil enhancers(R), and four bags of standard soil base (S). In order to produce the Day Lilly soil enhancers (D), one unit of uniform aerator (U) is blended with three units of Green Acre Getaway Gardens fertilizer (F). Each bag of the uniform aerator (U) is processed from one bag of standard soil base(S). Each bag of Rose soil enhancers (R) requires four units of Green Acre Getaway Gardens fertilizer (F) and one bag of standard soil base(S).

An order of 200 Green Acre Getaway Gardens Garden's Box is due on day six. Also, an order of 800 Garden's Boxes is due on day ten.
