An assembly line requires two components: gadjits and wi-
djits. Gadjits are produced by center 1 and widjits by center 2.
Each unit of the end item, called a jit-together, requires three gadjits and two widjits, as shown in Figure 6.13. The daily
production quota on the assembly line is 800 jit-togethers. The container for gadjits holds 80 units. The policy variable
for center 1 is set at 0.09. The average waiting time for a con-
tainer of gadjits is 0.09 day, and 0.06 day is needed to produce
a container. The container for widjits holds 50 units, and the
policy variable for center 2 is 0.08. The average waiting time
per container of widjits is 0.14 day, and the time required to
process a container is 0.20 day.
