A. Assuming marketing's forecast is correct, increasing 1st shift capacity will reduce your need to rely on automation in order to improve labor costs.
B. Assuming production is less than 1st shift capacity, increasing 1st shift capacity will reduce your need for overtime, which incurs time-and-a-half wage rates (labor costs). C.

B. Low Tech customers are focused on cutting-edge technology, represented by smaller size and higher performance. High Tech customers prefer older, tried and true technology that is almost obsolete, and inexpensive.
C. High Tech customers are focused on cutting-edge technology, represented by smaller performance and higher MTBF. Low Tech customers prefer older, tried and true technology that is high performing, and moderately expensive.
