Four Engineers are to work on 4 projects of Dora Company. The problem is to decide which engineer should be assigned to which project. Each engineer charges different fees on each project, due to distances of the projects and the complexity of the work. The cost of assigning particular engineers to particular projects are as stated below. The objective is to find the lease cost of assignment.
Engineer 1 to Projects A, B, C, D = $11k, $8k, $10k, $7k respectively.Engineer 2 to Projects A, B, C, D = $6k, $5k, $3k, $8k respectively.Engineer 3 to Projects A, B, C, D = $4k, $8k, $10k, $9k respectively.Engineer 4 to Projects A, B, C, D = $11k, $10k, $5k, $7k respectively.

- Explain the nature of linear programming in operations ?arrow_forwardCase: Keep on Truckin’?Tim Rowe owns a small trucking firm that specializes in local and metro-area delivery in large city in the United States.All employment activities are handled by Tim who has always hired employees on the basis of three qualifications:1. They must have a high school diploma;2. They must pass a short paper-and-pencil test which is given to all applicants; and3. They must have a valid driver’s license if applying for the position of driver.The short test is interesting, as it was devised by Tim from sample questions found on a GED (General Education Degree) Equivalency Test. The test consists of 33 vocabulary and mathematical questions, each worth 3 points. Anyone scoring below 70 is automatically rejected.Last month two drivers quit, so Tim advertised in the local paper for two new drivers. Ten people applied for the openings, but Tim rejected four applicants because they were not high school graduates. Three others were rejected because of test scores below 70.…arrow_forwardlinear programing problem Use Newton's method to approximate You can stop after 3 iterationsarrow_forward

The manager of quality improvement has requested that at least 8 training programs on teaming and at least 10 training programs on problem solving be offered during the next six months. In addition, senior-level management has specified that at least 25 training programs must be offered during this period. Consolidated Electronics uses a consultant to teach the training programs. During the next quarter, the consultant has 84 days of training time available. Each training program on teaming costs $10,000 and each training program on problem solving costs $8000. a.

With the existing brake lathe machine, the firm utilizes five employees who produce an average of eighty disc pads per hour; each of the employees receive $10 per hour; the machine cost is $40 per hour. The firm purchased a new brake lathe machine to replace the existing brake lathe machine; this reduced the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the disc pads. With the new brake lathe machine, the firm was able to shift one of the employees to another division; the machine cost increased by $10 per hour; and the production output increased by four disc pads per hour. Calculate the labor productivity (disc pads per employee per hour) with the existing brake lathe machine, and with the new brake lathe machine. Calculate the multi-factor productivity (disc pads per $) with the existing brake lathe machine, and with the new brake lathe machine. Calculate the productivity change (%) in labor productivity, and…arrow_forward
