Macon Controls produces three different types of control units used to protect industrial equipment from overheating. Each of these units must be processed by a machine that Macon considers to be their process bottleneck. The plant operates on two 8-hour shifts, 5 days per week, 52 weeks per year. The table below provides the time standards at the bottleneck, lot sizes, and demand forecasts for the three units. Because of demand uncertainties, the operations manager obtained three demand forecasts (pessimistic, expected, and optimistic). The manager believes that a 25 percent capacity cushion is best. Component A B C Time Standard Processing (hr/unit) 0.04 0.30 0.05 Setup (hr/lot) 1.0 4.2 8.7 Lot Size (units/lot) 40 80 120 Demand Forecast Pessimistic Expected Optimistic Pessimistic 14,000 10,000 17,000 Demand Forecast a.
