Two Modules Are Used to Feed the Final Assembly Station

question 41

Essay

Two modules are used to feed the final assembly station on an assembly line. The final assembly station must produce 250 units in an eight-hour day. Each finished unit needs two module A's and 3 module B's. The factory uses a standard sized container that can hold 25 module A's or 35 module B's. It takes 2 hours to fill and move a container of module A's, but only 90 minutes to fill and move a container of module B's. If both module assembly processes have safety factors of 15%, how many containers should be used for each? How many hours of demand will this satisfy?
