Problem 5-4 (Algo)
AlwaysRain Irrigation, Inc. would like to determine capacity requirements for the next four years. Currently, two production lines are in
place for making bronze and plastic sprinklers. Three types of sprinklers are available in both bronze and plastic: 90-degree nozzle
sprinklers, 180-degree nozzle sprinklers, and 360-degree nozzle sprinklers. Management has forecast demand for the next four years
as follows:
Plastic 90
Plastic 180
Plastic 360
Bronze 90
Bronze 180
Bronze 360

Both production lines can produce all the different types of nozzles. The bronze machines needed for the bronze sprinklers require
two operators and can produce up to 12,000 sprinklers. The plastic injection molding machine needed for the plastic sprinklers
requires four operators and can produce up to 195,000 sprinklers. Three bronze machines and only one injection molding machine are
available.
