- An auto company currently maintains plants in Cincinnati and Tulsa to supply two distributioncenters in Boston and Phoenix. The production and distribution costs, distribution demands aswell as facility capacities are given in the table attached. b) Using the intuitive lowest cost method, determines which of the candidate locations, inaddition to existing locations, gives the initial solution with a lower cost? c) Using the solutions obtained in b), identify which distribution center still faces a shortage. d) Suppose the company has chosen Houston as their third plant and would like to know the optimaltransportation strategy that minimizes overall costs by solving a minimum-cost flow problem.Terry has defined decision variables, represented as xij, to denote the number of items shippedfrom plant i to distribution center j wherei= C(Cincinnati), T(Tulsa), and H(Houston)j= B(Boston) and P(Phoenix)Maya ltd. wants to use the Centre of Gravity location technique to determine where to setup itsdistribution centre.I. What is the main objective of using this technique? II. What information will be needed in order to use this technique? III. Setup a numerical example that can be used to demonstrate to the owner of thecompany how the technique can be used. IV. Use the numerical example set up above to demonstrate how the centre of gravitylocation technique is used.On a daily basis, the Vampire Van is dispatched from Maplewood Hospital to pickup blood and platelet donations made at its local donation centers. The distances in miles between all locations may be found in Table.a. The Vampire Van travels from Maplewood Hospital (A) to (B) to (C) to (D) to (E) and then returns to the hospital (A). What is the total number of miles that the van must travel using this route?b. Using Maplewood Hospital as the beginning location, create a route using the NN heuristic. What is the total number of miles that the van must travel using this route?c. Using Valley Hills (E) as the beginning location, create a route using the NN heuristic. What is the total number of miles that the van must travel using this route?
- a) Use the Northwest Corner Rule to develop an initial solution. b) Apply the Stepping-Stone Method to find the minimum transportation cost. c) Calculate the total cost for this situation.Compu Limited is a company that manufactures computer monitors, keyboards, computer boxes and modems (both internal and external). These four products are sold all over the country and in a few overseas markets. The head office is situated in Sandton, South Africa, with three plants in other parts of the country. Four years ago, a fourth plant was opened in Zimbabwe to take advantage of the inexpensive labour available. 90% of the items manufactured in Zimbabwe are shipped back to South Africa and the remaining 10% are sold in other African countries. Compu Limited advertises its products in computer magazines, on the internet and over the television. It shares are traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). Three major organisations account for almost 50% of Compu’s sales and the remaining sales are made to other smaller computer manufacturers. Lately one of these customers is constantly complaining about the lack of new technology in Compu’s products. A total of 900 plant…Compu Limited is a company that manufactures computer monitors, keyboards, computer boxes and modems (both internal and external).

- A larger and more modern post office is to be constructed at a new location in Sally Spring Georgia. Growing suburbs caused a shift in the population density from where it was 30 years ago when the current facility was built. Andy Browne, the postmaster asked his assistants to draw a grid map of the seven points where mail is picked up and delivered in bulk. The coordinates and trips per day to and from the seven mail source points and the current main post office are shown in the table below. Mail Source Point Round Trips per day X coordinate Y coordinate 1 6 2 8 2 3 6 1 3 3 8 5 4 3 13 3 5 2 15 10 6 7 6 14 Calculate the centre of gravity as a possible location for the new facility. 2.
