Figure 4.2 shows the OptQuest solution. The optimal mean
profit is $11,303, obtained by producing 11 pounds of summer
sausage, 2,863 pounds of bratwurst, 364 pounds of Italian
sausage, 2,424 pounds of pepperoni, and 422 pounds of Polish
sausage. Figure 4.3 shows the Casing Remaining forecast chart
for these decision variables, verifying that the chance of running
out of casing is indeed at most 5%.

Practice exercise
Suppose that the amount of veal available is uncertain, due to
an unreliable supplier. Assuming that the on-hand veal
inventory is defined by a uniform distribution between 11,000
and 12,520 pounds, formulate an appropriate requirement in
place of the inventory limitation, edit the OptQuest file, and
rerun the model. How does the solution change?
