AlwaysRain Irrigation, Incorporated 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: Plastic 90 Plastic 180 Plastic 360 Bronze 90 Bronze 180 Bronze 360 1 (IN 000s) 33 12 51 4 3 Plastic Demand for plastic sprinklers Percentage of capacity used Machine requirements Labor requirements Bronze 13 Demand for bronze sprinklers Percentage of capacity used Machine requirements Labor requirements YEARLY DEMAND 2 (IN 000s) 41 15 53 5 3 13 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 17,000 sprinklers. The plastic injection molding machine needed for the plastic sprinklers requires four operators and can produce up to 280,000 sprinklers. Three bronze machines and only one injection molding machine are available. Year 1 What are the capacity requirements for the next four years? (Assume that there is no learning.)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data: 

For Plastic sprinklers
Machine available = 1
Capacity to produce sprinklers =280,000
No. of operators = 4 
Total available capacity = 280,000 * 1 = 280,000

Bronze sprinklers:
Machine available=3 
Capacity to produce sprinklers=17,000
No. of operators=2 workers
Total available capacity=17,000*3=34,000
