Question: Scotsburn DairyScotsburn Dairy's plant in Truro, Nova Scotia, makes over 300 types and sizes of ice cream and frozen yogurt products. The process is in two stages. In the first stage, a type of mix such as premium white is made in one of the two large pasteurizing vats (with 5,400 litre and 7,500 litre capacities), homogenized, cooled, and stored in one of eight storage tanks. In the second stage, the mix is fed intoone of the three lines where flavour(s)/fruit(s) are added and the mix is packaged in containers (tubs)of various sizes. All three lines feed into the spiral freezer and then the tubs are stored in the on-site warehouse.

For simplicity, we assume that all the products can be aggregated and that the volume of the product determines its production speed and cost.
