Orphan Ltd. supply Wilson Ltd with the organic denim used in their production. After discussions with
Nelon about the service she was getting from Good Numbers, the manager of Orphan Ltd decided to use
Good Numbers to assist with their management decision making. Orphan Ltd produces three different
weights of denim using two departments. In Department 1, machines weave the cloth. In Department 2
the cloth is dyed a variety of colors. Information for the combined use of resources in both departments
for the three types of fabric is outlined below.
Bolts are 30 meters each. All fabric is inspected during production. Robotic equipment inspects the fabric
for obvious flaws as the bolts are wound up. Each bolt spends about 8 minutes in the inspection process.
