You have been asked to put together a capacity plan for a critical operation at the Surefoot Sandal Company. Your capacity measure is number of machines. Three products (men’s, women’s, and children’s sandals) are manufactured. The time standards (processing and setup), lot sizes, and demand forecasts are given in the following table. The firm operates two 8-hour shifts, 5 days per week, 50 weeks per year. Experience shows that a capacity cushion of 5 percent is sufficient.

- Canine Kernels Company (CKC) manufactures two differenttypes of dog chew toys (A and B, sold in 1,000-count boxes)that are manufactured and assembled on three differentworkstations (W, X, and Y) using a small-batch process (seeFigure 5.12). Batch setup times are negligible. The flowchartdenotes the path each product follows through the manu-facturing process, and each product’s price, demand perweek, and processing times per unit are indicated as well.Purchased parts and raw materials consumed during pro-duction are represented by inverted triangles. CKC can makeand sell up to the limit of its demand per week; no penaltiesare incurred for not being able to meet all the demand. Eachworkstation is staffed by a worker who is dedicated to workon that workstation alone, and is paid $6 per hour. Totallabor costs per week are fixed. Variable overhead costs are$3,500/week. The plant operates one 8-hour shift per day, or40 hours/week.
