Each hour from 10A.M. to 7P.M., Bank One receives checks and must process them. Its goal is to process all checks the same day they are received. The bank has 13 check processing machines, each of which can process up to 500 checks per hour. It takes one worker to operate each machine. Bank One hires both full-time and part-time workers. Full-time workers work 10A.M. to 6P.M., 11A.M. to 7P.M., or 12P.M.to 8P.M.and are paid $160 per day. Part-time workers work either 2P.M. to 7P.M.or 3P.M. to 8P.M. and are paid $75 per day. The numbers of checks received each hour are listed in the file P04_114.xlsx. In the interest of maintaining continuity, Bank One believes that it must have at least 3 full-time workersunder contract. Develop a work schedule that processes all checks by 8P.M. and minimizes daily labor costs.
