. Sarah’s Organic Soap Company makes four kinds of organic liquid soap: “regular,”“lavender,” “citrus,” and “tea tree.” Demands for the four scents are 150, 120, 75, and50 kgs per hour, respectively. Sarah’s production process can produce any soap at therate of 450 kgs per hour, but 1.5 hours are needed to switch between scents. Duringthose switchover times, the process doesn’t produce any soap.

Bateman Company produces helmets for drivers of motorcycles. Helmets are produced in batches according to model and size. Although the setup and production time vary for each model, the smallest lead time is six days. The most popular model, Model HA2, takes two days for setup, and the production rate is 1,125 units per day. The expected annual demand for the model is 54,000 units. Demand for the model, however, can reach 67,500 units. The cost of carrying one HA2 helmet is $3 per unit. The setup cost is $9,000. Bateman chooses its batch size based on the economic order quantity criterion. Expected annual demand is used to compute the EOQ. Recently, Bateman has encountered some stiff competition—especially from foreign sources.
