Dalton Desk makes two different types children's desks: a regular model (R) and a deluxe model (D) with an extra shelf for book storage. 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?
A company produces three different products; x,y, and z. For the production of 1 unit of product x, 1 unit of A and 1 unit of B are used as input. 1 unit of A and 2 units of B are used to produce 1 unit of product y. To produce 1 unit of product z, only 1 unit of A is used. The company holds 40 units of A and 20 units of B periodically in total. By the way, the company can not produce product y more than the twice of product z. On the other hand, the sale price of 1 unit of product x is 10 TL, product y is 15 TL and product z is 12 TL. Furthermore, the cost of 1 unit of product x is 8 TL, product y is 9 TL and product z is 7 TL. According to above information, what should be the company’s optimal product mix to maximize its profit? Construct the problem as a Linear programming model. Solve the above problem by using Simplex Method.
A small scale industry manufactures electrical regulators, with a small group of semi-skilled workers both male and female. Due to limitations in space and finance, the number of workers employed cannot exceed 11 and their total salary cannot be more than Rs60, 000 per month. The male workers are paid Rs.6000 per month while the female workers are paid Rs. 5000 per month. It has been found that the male workers are swifter and since they are willing to work overtime, they contribute Rs.10, 000 per month as compared to Rs.8500 from their female counterparts. Apart from their salary, food coupons are provided: 6 coupons to per male employee and 5 coupons to per female employee. However, the total maximum amount of coupons that can be distributed are only 90. a) Formulate the model and find out how many male and female members should the company employ so as to maximize their contribution? b) If they make the female compensation equal to their male counterpart, should there be…
