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.

- Case: 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_forwardthis is a linear programming problem. question is in the second imagearrow_forwardThe manager of a company wishes to assign three jobs to four machines on one-on-one basis.

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.

Two materials handlers are responsible for pushing the loaded trucks into the warehouse, unloading the tanks and setting them up on end. The two materials handlers spend a major portion of their day moving loads of the gas tanks into the warehouse and placing them into the proper storage locations. In total, there are five different types of gases that in equal proportion make up 98% of all gas handled. Question: Management would like to identify a better way to handle these gas tanks.
