The table requires a top, four legs, 1 8 gallon of stain, 1 16 gallon of glue, 2 short braces betweenthe legs and 2 long braces between the legs, and a brass cap that goeson the bottom of each leg. She has 100 gallons of glue in inventory,but none of the other components. All items except the brass caps, stain, and glue are ordered on a lot-for-lot basis. The caps are pur-chased in quantities of 1,000, stain and glue by the gallon. Lead time is 1 day for each item. Schedule the order releases necessary to pro-duce 640 coffee tables on days 5 and 6, and 128 on days 7 and 8.arrow_forward

- Item4 Time Remaining 2 hours 53 minutes 2 seconds 02:53:02 eBookReferences Item 4 Time Remaining 2 hours 53 minutes 2 seconds 02:53:02 The production planner for a private label soft drink maker is planning the production of two soft drinks: root beer (R) and sassafras soda (S). There are at most 12 hours per day of production time and 1,500 gallons per day of carbonated water available. A case of root beer requires 2 minutes of time and 5 gallons of water to produce, while a case of sassafras soda requires 3 minutes of time and 5 gallons of water. Profits for the root beer are $6.00 per case, and profits for the sassafras soda are $4.00 per case. The firm’s goal is to maximize profits.
