A well-known multi-brand manufacturer uses the production lot sizing (EPQ) model to determine the production quantities of its various products. Product ABC is currently being produced in production batches of 5000 units. The production cycle length for this quantity is 10 days. Due to a recent shortage of raw material, the supplier announced that it will increase its prices. Current estimates are that the new raw material price will increase the cost of manufacturing the company's products by 28% per unit. What will be the new batch size after this price increase on the production batch size for ABC?

- Assume the demand for a companys drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost 16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for 3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of 0.20. It costs 0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.The Pigskin Company produces footballs. Pigskin must decide how many footballs to produce each month. The company has decided to use a six-month planning horizon. The forecasted monthly demands for the next six months are 10,000, 15,000, 30,000, 35,000, 25,000, and 10,000. Pigskin wants to meet these demands on time, knowing that it currently has 5000 footballs in inventory and that it can use a given months production to help meet the demand for that month. (For simplicity, we assume that production occurs during the month, and demand occurs at the end of the month.) During each month there is enough production capacity to produce up to 30,000 footballs, and there is enough storage capacity to store up to 10,000 footballs at the end of the month, after demand has occurred. The forecasted production costs per football for the next six months are 12.50, 12.55, 12.70, 12.80, 12.85, and 12.95, respectively. The holding cost incurred per football held in inventory at the end of any month is 5% of the production cost for that month. (This cost includes the cost of storage and also the cost of money tied up in inventory.) The selling price for footballs is not considered relevant to the production decision because Pigskin will satisfy all customer demand exactly when it occursat whatever the selling price is. Therefore. Pigskin wants to determine the production schedule that minimizes the total production and holding costs. Can you guess the results of a sensitivity analysis on the initial inventory in the Pigskin model? See if your guess is correct by using SolverTable and allowing the initial inventory to vary from 0 to 10,000 in increments of 1000. Keep track of the values in the decision variable cells and the objective cell.The Pigskin Company produces footballs. Pigskin must decide how many footballs to produce each month.

The selling price for footballs is not considered relevant to the production decision because Pigskin will satisfy all customer demand exactly when it occursat whatever the selling price is. Therefore. Pigskin wants to determine the production schedule that minimizes the total production and holding costs. As indicated by the algebraic formulation of the Pigskin model, there is no real need to calculate inventory on hand after production and constrain it to be greater than or equal to demand. An alternative is to calculate ending inventory directly and constrain it to be nonnegative. Modify the current spreadsheet model to do this. (Delete rows 16 and 17, and calculate ending inventory appropriately. Then add an explicit non-negativity constraint on ending inventory.)

Therefore. Pigskin wants to determine the production schedule that minimizes the total production and holding costs. Modify the Pigskin model so that there are eight months in the planning horizon. You can make up reasonable values for any extra required data. Dont forget to modify range names. Then modify the model again so that there are only four months in the planning horizon. Do either of these modifications change the optima] production quantity in month 1?The Tinkan Company produces one-pound cans for the Canadian salmon industry. Each year the salmon spawn during a 24-hour period and must be canned immediately. Tinkan has the following agreement with the salmon industry. The company can deliver as many cans as it chooses. Then the salmon are caught. For each can by which Tinkan falls short of the salmon industrys needs, the company pays the industry a 2 penalty. Cans cost Tinkan 1 to produce and are sold by Tinkan for 2 per can. If any cans are left over, they are returned to Tinkan and the company reimburses the industry 2 for each extra can. These extra cans are put in storage for next year. Each year a can is held in storage, a carrying cost equal to 20% of the cans production cost is incurred. It is well known that the number of salmon harvested during a year is strongly related to the number of salmon harvested the previous year. In fact, using past data, Tinkan estimates that the harvest size in year t, Ht (measured in the number of cans required), is related to the harvest size in the previous year, Ht1, by the equation Ht = Ht1et where et is normally distributed with mean 1.02 and standard deviation 0.10. Tinkan plans to use the following production strategy. For some value of x, it produces enough cans at the beginning of year t to bring its inventory up to x+Ht, where Ht is the predicted harvest size in year t. Then it delivers these cans to the salmon industry. For example, if it uses x = 100,000, the predicted harvest size is 500,000 cans, and 80,000 cans are already in inventory, then Tinkan produces and delivers 520,000 cans. Given that the harvest size for the previous year was 550,000 cans, use simulation to help Tinkan develop a production strategy that maximizes its expected profit over the next 20 years. Assume that the company begins year 1 with an initial inventory of 300,000 cans.In the lawn mower production problem in Example 8.4, experiment with the penalty cost for unsatisfied pickups in week 1. If this cost is sufficiently small, does the company ever produce fewer than seven models in week 1 and allow some week 1 pickups to be unsatisfied?
- A company manufactures both mountain bikes and trail bikes. The cost of materials for a mountain bike is $60, and the cost of materials for a trail bike is $40. The cost of labor to manufacture a mountain bike is $80, and the cost of labor to manufacture a trail bike is $60. During a week in which the company has budgeted $1,800 for materials and $2,500 for labor, how many mountain bikes does the company plan to manufacture? mountain bikesThe seasonal yield of olives greatly increases by a process of branch pruning instead of olives by normal process. The yield of 1 barrel of olives by pruning requires 5 hours of labor and 1 acre of land. The production of a barrel of olives by the normal process requires only 2 labor hours but takes 2 acres of land. An olive grower has 250 hours of labor available and a total of 150 acres for growing. A barrel of olives produced on pruned trees sells for $20, whereas a barrel of regular olives has a market price of $30. The grower has determined that because of uncertain demand, no more than 40 barrels of pruned olives should be produced. The best combination of barrels of pruned and regular olives in order to earn maximum profit X1(barrels of pruned) and X2( barrels of regular olives) One of the constraints of the problem is Select one: 2X1+5X2<=250 30X1+20X2<=250 2X1+2X2<=250 5X1+2X2<=250 5X1+2X2>=250Western Chassis produces high-quality polished steel and aluminum sheeting and two lines of industrial chassis for the rack mounting of Internet routers, modems, and other telecommunications equipment. The contribution margin (contribution toward profit) for steel sheeting is $0.40 per pound and for aluminum sheeting is $0.60 per pound. Western earns $12 contribution on the sale of a Standard chassis rack and $15 contribution on a Deluxe chassis rack. During the next production cycle, Western can buy and use up to 25,800 pounds of raw unfinished steel either in sheeting or in chassis. Similarly, 20,400 pounds of aluminum are available. One standard chassis rack requires 16 pounds of steel and 8 pounds of aluminum. A Deluxe chassis rack requires 12 pounds of each metal. The output of metal sheeting is restricted only by the capacity of the polisher. For the next production cycle, the polisher can handle any mix of the two metals up to 4,000 pounds of metal sheeting.

- BMW produces three different types of wheels – 17-inch, 18-inch, and 19-inch – in its manufacturing facility for the BMW3 series cars. The production rate is 1000 units per day for each wheel type. However, each time the manufacturing facility switches from producing a wheel type to another, the production should be stopped for one day for reconfiguring machinery. Demands for wheels, unit production costs, and fixed reconfiguration costs are as follows: Wheel Demand (units/day) Production cost ($/unit) Reconfiguration cost ($) respectively; 17-inch 230 80 10000 18-inch 320 100 6000 19-inch 200 110 6000 The inventory holding cost per unit per year is 20% of the unit production cost for each wheel type. Assume 365 days in a year. BMW wants to implement a rotation cycle policy: the manufacturing facility is set up exactly once for each wheel type in each cycle. (b) What is the optimal total relevant annual cost (inventory holding costs plus reconfiguration costs) for these wheel types?Mark has a company that produces tables and chairs, both having two different models. The product models and related information are given in the following table. Wood costs 3000 $ per cubic meter and 200 m3 of wood are available for the upcoming month. The cost of labor is 40 $/hour and there are 6000 hours of labor available in a month. Mark sells his products to a big chain retail company. The company purchases all products whatever Mark produces. Mark formulates an LP as follows to determine the optimal monthly production plan such that he maximizes the total profit. Decision Variables: X1 : number of basic tables to be produced. X2 : number of elegant tables to be produced. X3 : number of basic chairs to be produced. X4 :number of elegant chairs to be produced. Max Z = 140 X1 + 345 X2 + 120 X3 + 260 X4 ( maximize total profit) Subject to 0.11 X1 + 0.13 X2 + 0.06 X3 + 0.07 X4 ≤ 200 (constraint on the available amount of wood) 2 X1 + 4.5 X2 + 1.5 X3 + 4 X4 ≤ 6000…Show & Sell can advertise its products on local radio and television (TV). The advertising budget is limited to $10,000 a month. Each minute of radio advertising costs $15 and each minute ofTY commercials $300. Show & Sell likes to advertise on radio at least twice as much as on TV. In the meantime, it is not practical to use more than 400 minutes of radio advertising a month. From past experience, advertising on TV is estimated to be 25 times as effective as on radio. Determine the optimum allocation of the budget to radio and TV advertising.
