The Problem The company business is production of porcelain The products are plates, cups and trays. The company wants to optimize it daily production program in order to maxime is revenues. these are made up of revenues from individual types of tableware. For each produced plate the company receives 73 SEK , for a Cup 116 and for a tray 54 SEK . A Maximum of 165 kg of material is available per day. The production of 1 plate consumes 0.2 kg of material, the production of 1 cup puning 0.4 kg of material and the production of 1 tray consuming 0,6 of material. Due to other tasks 4950 minutes are available for this production program. The production of one plate takes 8 minutes of work for the people in production, the production of one cup and saucer takes 29 min of work, and the tray takes 26 min of work due to its complexity. At the same time, the company is obliged to produce at least 170 plates per day. Find the optimal production structure under the given conditions with maximum sales ?

A company manufactures iron cutting machines. Investment amount made with respect to the machine It is 800 thousand TL. Energy costs will increase by 50 thousand and 6% each year. Personnel expenses 35 thousand and it increases by 15 thousand every year, on the other hand, financing expenses are 100 thousand TL and 20% each year will increase by the rate. Since it is planned to manufacture 250 machines per year, 12 years of life and For this manufacturing with 30% capital cost, the company will calculate how many TL in total for the machines manufactured each year. one has to charge an expense and what will be the expense per unit. Note: Solve according to the annual equivalent cost method.

At modern woodworks, president and producer of apple crates sold to growers, has been able, with his current equipment, to produce 240 crates per 100 logs. He currently purchases 100 logs per day, and each log requires 3 labor hours to process. He believes that he can hire a profesional buyer who can buy a better quality log at the same cost. if this is the case, he can increase hos production to 260 crates per 100 logs. His labour-hours will increase by 8 hours per day. What will be the impact on productivity (measured in crates per labor-hour) if the buyer is hired?

The Electrocomp Corporation manufactures two electrical products: air conditioners and large fans. The assembly process for each is similar in that both rquire a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each air condtioner takes 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling. During the next production period, 240 hours of wiring time are available, and up to 140 hours of drilling time may be used. Each air conditioner sold yieds a profit of $25. Each fan assembled may be sold for a $15 profit. Formulate the best combination of air conditioners and fans that yiedls the highest profit. Use the corner point graphical approach.
Machinco produces four products, requiring time ontwo machines and two types (skilled and unskilled) of labor.The amount of machine time and labor (in hours) used byeach product and the sales prices are given in Table 13.Each month, 700 hours are available on machine 1 and 500hours on machine 2. Each month, Machinco can purchaseup to 600 hours of skilled labor at $8 per hour and up to650 hours of unskilled labor at $6 per hour. Formulate anLP that will enable Machinco to maximize its monthlyprofit. Solve this LP and use the output to answer thefollowing questions:a By how much does the price of product 3 have to increase before it becomes optimal to produce it?b If product 1 sold for $290, then what would be thenew optimal solution to the problem?c What is the most Machinco would be willing to payfor an extra hour of time on each machine?d What is the most Machinco would be willing to payfor an extra hour of each type of labor?e If up to 700 hours of skilled labor could be purchased…

A gold processor has two (2) sources of gold ore, Source A and source B. To keep his plantrunning, at least three (3) tons of ore must be processed each day. Ore from A costs $20 per tonto process, and ore from B costs $10 per ton to process. Costs must be kept to less than $80 perday. Moreover, Federal Regulations require that number of ore from source B cannot exceedtwice the number of ore from source A. If ore from source A yields 2 oz. of gold per ton, andfrom source B yields 3 oz. of gold per ton, how many tons of ore from both sources must beprocessed each day to maximize the amount of gold to the above constraints?

Suppose a certain manufacturing company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is $2,400, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods is $3,900. Manufacturing costs are $13 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $19 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. Hawkins makes a decision at the end of each week as to which product will be manufactured the following week. If a production changeover is necessary from one week to the next, the weekend is used to reconfigure the production line. Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 6,000 6-cylinder connecting rods and 8,000 4-cylinder connecting rods. Let x4 = the number of 4-cylinder connecting rods produced next week x6 = the number of 6-cylinder connecting rods produced next week s4 = 1 if the production line is set up to…
