For the four basic configurations that follow, assume that the market is demanding product that must be processed by both Resource X and Resource Y for Cases I, II, and III. For Case IV, both resources supply separate but dependent markets; that is, the number of units of output from both X and Y must be equal. Plans are being made to produce a product that requires 48 minutes on Resource X and 38 minutes on Resource Y. Assume that there is only one of each of these resources and that market demand is 1,380 units per month. Case I X Case III X Case I Case II Case Case IV Y Market Assembly Market Case I Case II Case III Case IV Case II Y Resources X (hours) Case IV Market a. How many hours of production time would you schedule for X and Y, assuming unlimited storage? X Y (hours) X Market Market b. What would happen if Y is also scheduled for the same production hours of X?
