Engineering firms in Norvale plan to buy more computer-controlled machines and to train more workers to operate them. Each machine needs 2 trained operators to run at full capacity, and each fully staffed machine adds the same amount to productive capacity.
| Measure | Before the programme | After the planned programme |
|---|---|---|
| Computer-controlled machines | 600 | 1,000 |
| Trained operators | 1,200 | 1,700 |
Calculate the number of machines that can run at full capacity after the planned programme.
Explain the likely effect of the programme on Norvale's productive capacity.
