Kaliah's Pizzas is a takeout-only pizza parlor servicing the college campus of Tallahassee that specializes in vegan pizzas. Kaliah's small shop has barely enough room for customers to stand and wait, let alone the five pizza ovens necessary to keep up with the hungry student customers. Kaliah signed a lease renting both the five ovens and the storefront for the next year. Due to the terms of the lease and the building’s size constraint, Kaliah is unable to change the store’s number of pizza ovens in the short run.
However, Kaliah does face a decision regarding the number of employees to schedule on a weekly basis. Every Sunday, Kaliah contacts the staff to communicate the amount of workers needed on each day of the upcoming week. In the short run, the store employees are inputs, and pizza ovens are inputs.
The following table presents Kaliah's daily production schedule.
