As a supervisor of a production department, you must decide the daily production totals of a certain product that has two models, the Deluxe and the Special. The profit on the Deluxe model is S12 per unit and the Special's profit is $10. Each model goes through two phases in the production process, and there are only 100 hours available daily at the construction stage and only 80 hours available at the finishing and inspection stage. Each Deluxe model requires 20 minutes of construction time and 10 minutes of finishing and inspection time. Each Special model requires 15 minutes of construction time and 15 minutes of finishing and inspection time. The company has also decided that

- Lemingtons is trying to determine how many Jean Hudson dresses to order for the spring season. Demand for the dresses is assumed to follow a normal distribution with mean 400 and standard deviation 100. The contract between Jean Hudson and Lemingtons works as follows. At the beginning of the season, Lemingtons reserves x units of capacity. Lemingtons must take delivery for at least 0.8x dresses and can, if desired, take delivery on up to x dresses. Each dress sells for 160 and Hudson charges 50 per dress. If Lemingtons does not take delivery on all x dresses, it owes Hudson a 5 penalty for each unit of reserved capacity that is unused. For example, if Lemingtons orders 450 dresses and demand is for 400 dresses, Lemingtons will receive 400 dresses and owe Jean 400(50) + 50(5). How many units of capacity should Lemingtons reserve to maximize its expected profit?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?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 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.)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 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. 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?A small firm makes three similar products, which all follow the same three-step process, consisting of milling, inspection, and drilling. Product A requires 12 minutes of milling, 5 minutes forinspection, and 10 minutes of drilling per unit; product B requires 10 minutes of milling, 4 minutesfor inspection, and 8 minutes of drilling per unit; and product C requires 8 minutes of milling, 4minutes for inspection, and 16 minutes of drilling. The department has 20 hours available duringthe next period for milling, 15 hours for inspection, and 24 hours for drilling. Product A contributes$2.40 per unit to profit, product B contributes $2.50 per unit, and product C contributes $3.00 perunit. Determine the optimal mix of products in terms of maximizing contribution to profits for theperiod. Then, find the range of optimality for the profit coefficient of each variable.
- Patz Company produces two types of machine parts: Part A and Part B, with unit contribution margins of $400 and $800, respectively. Assume initially that Patz can sell all that is produced of either component. Part A requires two hours of assembly, and B requires five hours of assembly. The firm has 400 assembly hours per week. What if market conditions are such that Patz can sell at most 100 units of Part A and 80 units of Part B? Express the objective function with its associated constraints for this case.

Both types of desks go through Daltons' three production departments: fabrication, assembly, and packing/shipping, but required a different number of minutes in each department. For example, the regular desk needs 60 minutes of fabrication time, 45 minutes of assembly, and 15 minutes in packing & shipping. The deluxe model needs 120 minutes of fabrication time, 60 minutes in assembly, and 20 minutes in packing & shipping. Dalton has 850 hours of production time available in fabricating department, 450 hours available in its assembly department, and 200 hours available in its packaging and shipping department. Dalton reports unit profits of $6 and $8 for its regular and deluxe desks, respectively. What is the objective function? What is the fabrication constraint? What is the assembly constraint?What is the Shipping and Packing constraint?
