A high-precisiоn mоlding prоcess mаnufаctures components for two mаjor aerospace accounts. The asset operates 250 days per year on a single 8-hour shift. Management mandates a strategic capacity cushion (C) of 20%. Account A has a forecast demand of 2,000 units, a processing time of 0.5 hours/unit, an average lot size of 20, and a setup time of 0.25 hours/lot. Account B requires 6,000 units, a processing time of 0.7 hours/unit, a lot size of 30, and a setup time of 0.40 hours/lot. Compute the total number of specialized machines required.
