Precision testing (PT) conducts fluid testing for several local hospitals. Each urine sample requires 12 seconds to test, but after 300 samples the equipment must be recalibrated, during which no samples can be tested and takes 30 minutes. PT's maximum capacity to test urine samples is 300 samples per hour. The smallest batch size that ensures the process is not supply constrained, given a demand of 2.3 samples per minute, is 138 samples. Power for All (PIA) makes two types of protein products with different hourly demands. PIA can make each type at 3 minutes per kg but switching between them requires 30 minutes of halted production. The optimal production schedule for PIA is to produce 30 kg of soy-based

reclslon 1esLlng (1esLs) does fluld LesLlng for several local hosplLals. Conslder Lhelr urlne
LesLlng process. Lach sample requlres 12 seconds Lo LesL, buL afLer 300 samples, Lhe equlpmenL
musL be recallbraLed. no samples can be LesLed durlng Lhe recallbraLlon process, and LhaL
process Lakes 30 mlnuLes.

4>?= WhaL ls 1esL's maxlmum capaclLy Lo LesL urlne samples (ln samples per hour)?
4>@= Suppose 2.3 urlne samples need Lo be LesLed per mlnuLe. WhaL ls Lhe smallesL baLch slze

number of LesLs beLween callbraLlons.)


ower lor All (lA)

ower lor All (lA) makes Lwo Lypes of proLeln producLs - soy-based proLeln and whey-based
proLeln. uemand for soy-based proLeln ls 10 kllograms per hour, and demand for whey-based
proLeln ls 2 kgs per hour. lA can make proLeln powder of elLher Lype aL 3 mlnuLes per kg.
Powever, when swlLchlng from one Lype Lo Lhe oLher, Lhe producLlon has Lo be halLed for 30
mlnuLes. uurlng Lhose swlLchover Llmes, Lhe process doesn'L produce any proLeln. 1he owner of
