ABC Apple Juice Company produces and markets fresh fruit juice. During the apple harvest season, trucks bring apples from the fields to the process plant during a workday that runs long hours from 7AM. On peak days, approximately 3,000 kg of apples are trucked in per hour. Trucks dump their contents in a holding bin with a storage capacity of 9,000 kg. When the bin is full, incoming trucks must wait until it has sufficient available space. A conveyor moves apples from bin to the processing plant. The plant is configured to process apples at the rate of 2,000 kg per hour. Trucks arrive uniformly between 7:00AM to 5:00PM. Each truck holds about 1,000 kg of apples.
