Question

Gold Green Recycling specializes in the production of hydroformed tubing of high tensile strength normally produced using industrial resins from hydrocarbons or certain substitute inputs, all heated to over 400 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the company is a pioneer in replacing some of the resin with recycled #1 plastic from soft drink bottles. The new chief of production is experimenting with using only the recycled plastic as the production input, but this is not yet standard practice.

A production run can begin if there is enough resin for a batch and if the vat has been heated sufficiently. However, if there is not enough resin on hand, a production run can begin as long as there is enough plastic from recycled soft drink bottles to replace the missing resin.

Use the narrative paragraphs to create an initial Decision Table with all the possible combinations of conditions and outcomes. Create a second decision table illustrating the conditions that do not affect the outcome, marked with dashes. Create the final, simplified decision table, clearly identifying which columns have been combined as part of simplification. When in doubt, show your work.
