Companies A, B, and C supply components to three plants (F, G, and H) via two crossdocking facilities (D and E). It costs $4 to ship from D regardless of final destination and $3 to ship to E regardless of supplier. Shipping to D from A, B, and C costs $3, $4, and $5, respectively, and shipping from E to F, G, and H costs $10, $9, and $8, respectively. Suppliers A, B, and C can provide 200, 300 and 500 units respectively and plants F, G, and H need 350, 450, and 200 units respectively. Crossdock facilities D and E can handle 600 and 700 units, respectively.

Mo. A company needs to make deliveries on 10 different routes. The time (in minutes) to complete each route and the delivery amount (i.e., the load in number of units) are as follows. Route RO1 R02 R03 R04 R05 R06 R07 R08 R09 R10 Time 29 35 15 35 20 23 35 40 45 50 Load 200 240 110 90 65 135 80 170 150 270 The company is considering 6 carriers to make these deliveries. The vehicle capacities of these carriers are as follows. Carrier C01 C02 C03 C04 C05 C06 Capacity 600 720 450 510 660 550 The problem is to assign routes to the minimum number of carriers in such a way that all routes are completed within a time limit of two hours. For instance, routes 5, 9, and 10 could be assigned to carrier C04 because the total time to complete the routes is 115 minutes and the total load is 485.

20# The Great Bear Lodge is a hotel with an adjoining indoor waterpark and indoor minature golf center. The hotel sells packages which include overnight hotel stays with waterpark passes and minature golf passes. The hotel also has a plicy of selling daily passes to the indoor waterpakr and daily passes to the indoor minature golf center (in other words people do not need to stay at the hotel to use the indoor waterpark or indoor minature golf center.) Hotel guests may also choose to reserve just a hotel room without purchasing the waterpark or minature golf center passes. Great Bear Lodge is offering an incentive for the month of April. They are offering a package in which guests who reserve an overnight stay with the waterpark pass package will receive a free pass to the minature golf center. The total price for this package is $225 per night. The typical pricing for each of these sold independently are: One night hotel stay: $180, Daily Waterpark pass: $90, Minature Golf…
Valles Galactic Industries (VGI) owns a small company (VGI-Durango Sur) that manufactures various electronic products for original equipment manufacturers. Customer companies provide engineering designs, materials lists, and some unique materials. VGI-DS provides labor and space for the manufacturing and assembly operations and stocking a variety of inventory items for production, such as wire, cables, some electronic components, etc. Thus, VGI-DS orders a variety of components and raw materials by contract. The labor pool is primarily composed of about 100 retirees picking up extra cash by working four to six-hour shifts. Thus, the assembly operations must be simple and easy to teach. Skilled employees must do several raw material conversions for packaging—there are currently three such employees. VGI-DS receives forecasts from VGI headquarters for planned production for two years on a rolling quarterly basis. Staff at VGI-DS develop schedules and inventory plans based on this…
