One of PLEs manufacturing facilities produces metal engine housings from sheet metal for both mowers and tractors. Production of each product consists of five steps: stamping, drilling, assembly, painting, and packaging to ship to its final assembly plant. The production rates in hours per unit and the number of production hours available in each department are given in the following table:
Department

In addition:
· Mower housings require 1.2 square feet of sheet metal per unit
· Tractor housings require 1.8 square feet of sheet metal per unit
· 2500 square feet of sheet metal is available.
The company would like to maximize the total number of housings they can produce during the planning period.
