Plant

To begin construction of a new plant, enter the number of lines of capacity that are desired (2, 4, 6, 8 or 10) in the area in which the new plant is to be located.  Only one plant per company is permitted in each of the four market areas.  It takes three quarters to complete the construction of a new plant.  After construction has begun, no further entry is required except to begin construction of new lines (see Investment in Facilities and Equipment--First shift lines) prior to the start of production.  New production lines may be started during the third quarter of plant construction.

Limits:  0 in home area; 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 lines in other areas

Note:  New plants may only be built in areas where there is no existing plant.
