Theory of constraints: Hera Inc. produces two products, A and B. On a per unit basis, selling price for A is ₱20 with direct material of ₱5, direct labor of ₱8, variable overhead costs of ₱3 and variable selling costs of ₱1. On the other hand, B's selling price is ₱30, direct material costs of ₱5, direct labor of 10, variable overhead costs of ₱5, and variable selling costs of ₱2. Additionally, machine hours per unit are 2hrs and 4hrs, respectively. Normally, Hera has a capacity to produce 2,000,000 units in any combination of the two products. However, due to some contingencies, Hera will be limited to 1,000,000 machine hours. Which of the two products should be given priority to maximize contribution margin? How much is the maximum contribution margin the company can generate?

The Build-Em-Fast Company has agreed to supply its best customer with three widgets during each of the next 3 weeks, even though producing them will require some overtime work. The relevant production data are as follows: Week Maximum Production, Regular Time Maximum Production, Overtime Production Cost per Unit, Regular Time 1 2 2 $300 2 3 2 $500 3 1 2 $400 The cost per unit produced with overtime for each week is $100 more than for regular time. The cost of storage is $50 per unit for each week it is stored. There is already an inventory of two widgets on hand currently, but the company does not want to retain any widgets in inventory after the 3 weeks. Management wants to know how many units should be produced in each week to minimize the total cost of meeting the delivery schedule. Formulate this problem as a transportation problem by constructing the appropriate parameter table.
RSports is a major retailer of sportswear and equipment in Singapore. It has just signed a lease with a major shopping mall to be one of the anchor tenants and will occupy a floor area of 7,000 square meter (sqm). According to the regulatory requirement, 2% of the floor area must be set aside for emergency assembly purpose. The store layout has 8 major zones, and the company analyst has provided the information (based on other stores’ past data) in Figure 1.1 which shows the annual profit contribution for each zone per sqm.Based on the corporate guidelines, each sports zone requires at least 600sqm of floor space, and none of the sports zone should occupy more than 15% of usable floor space. The Cycling, Home gym, and Fitness sports zones keep some items in inventory (such as bicycles, treadmills, weights) and an equivalent space of 10 to 20% of the floor space allocated to these three sports zones must be set aside for stocking the spares.
