Problem 10
Elko makes three bicycles requiring operations in fabrication, painting, and assembly
Operation Time Requirement
Operation Boys Girls Toddlers
Fabrication 1 1.1 0.9
Painting 0.5 0.6 0.4
Assembly 0.3 0.3 0.4
For the next month, the labor hours available are 300 in fabrication, 250 in painting and 180 in assembly.
