The line’s maximum capacity amounts to 791.67 units per day assuming that it is operated for 7.5 hours. Assuming that X-Opoly operates 200 days per year, the capacity is 58,333 units per year. Compared with the expected demand the capacity is three times higher than the demand (50,000 units). Therefore there is an overcapacity of more than 100,000. One consequence could be a falling price and the production of waste. A fall in the price would lead to a decline of the return on investment as well as the cash flow. That is why it is necessary to use fewer stations in order to save resources.
