- PROBLEM 10 The Graphic Palette is a firm in Charleston, South Carolina, that does graphic artwork and produces color and black-and-white posters, lithographs, and banners. The firm’s owners, Kathleen and Lindsey Taylor, have been approached by a client to produce a spectacularly colored poster for an upcoming arts festival. The poster is more complex than anything Kathleen and Lindsey have previously worked on. It requires color screening in three stages, and the processing must proceed rapidly to produce the desired color effect. By suspending all their other jobs, they can devote three machines to the first stage, four to the second stage, and two to the last stage of the process. Posters that come off the machines at each stage can be processed on any of the machines at the next stage. However, all the machines are of different models and of varying ages, so they cannot process the same number of posters in the specified time frame necessary to complete the…arrow_forwardA Manufacturing Corp. with three-station work cell has the process displayed below.
