Question:
AlwaysRain Irrigation, Inc., would like to determine capacity requirements for the next four years. Currently two production lines are in place for making bronze and plastic sprinklers. Three types of sprinklers are available in both bronze and plastic: 90-degree nozzle sprinklers, 180-degree nozzle sprinklers, and 360-degree nozzle sprinklers. Management has forecast demand for the next four years as follows:

	YEARLY DEMAND
	1 (IN 000s)	2 (IN 000s)	3 (IN 000s)	4 (IN 000s)
Plastic 90	34	46	59	58
Plastic 180	14	19	20	19
Plastic 360	47	59	67	65
Bronze 90	4	5	6	13
Bronze 180	5	5	4	9
Bronze 360	10	11	18	19

Both production lines can produce all the different types of nozzles. The bronze machines needed for the bronze sprinklers require two operators and can produce up to 15,000 sprinklers. The plastic injection molding machine needed for the plastic sprinklers requires four operators and can produce up to 250,000 sprinklers. Three bronze machines and only one injection molding machine are available.
