(Cranberries) International Cranberry Uncooperative (ICU) is a competitor to the National Cranbery Cooperative (NCC), At ICU, barrelys of cranberries arive on trucks at a rate of 150 barrels per hour and are processed continuously at a rate of 100 barrels per hour. Trucks arrive at a uniform rate over eight hours, from 6:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Assume the trucks are sufficiently small so that the deliver of crangerries can be treated as a continuous inflow. The first truck arrives at 6:00 a.m., and unloads immediately, so processing begins at 6:00 a.m. The bins at ICU can hold up to 200 barrels of cranberries before overflowing. If a truck arrives and the bins are full, the truck must wait until there is room in the bins.
