Best Bicycles manufactures three different types of bikes: the Tiny Tike, the Adult Aero, and the Mountain Monger. Given the information in the table, calculate the required capacity for this year’s production. Note that the times are given for assembly lines, so capacity calculations should be in terms of the number of lines necessary. Assume that Best Bicycles operates two shifts, each with 2,000 hours per year. c
Bike Demand Forecast (units/year) Processing Time (minutes/unit) Lot Size (# of bikes) Setup Time (minutes/setup)
Tiny Tike 14,000 8 15 50
Adult Aero 16,000 10 18 80
Mountain Monger 19,000 12 25 40
