Chapter 16, Problem 31P
A manufacturing firm produces four types of automobile parts. Each is first fabricated and then finished. The required worker hours and profit for each part are
| Part | ||||
| A | B | C | D | |
| Fabrication time (hr/100 units) | 2.5 | 1.5 | 2.75 | 2 |
| Finishing time (hr/100 units) | 3.5 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
| Profit ($/100 units) | 375 | 275 | 475 | 324 |
The capacities of the fabrication and finishing shops over the next month are 640 and 960 hours, respectively. Determine how many of each part should be produced in order to maximize profit.

An electronics retailer sells laptops at a steady rate of 7,500 per quarter. It costs the manufacturer $350 tomake each laptop, and they charge $400/laptop to the retailer. The manufacturer produces the laptop at asteady rate that matches demand, and incurs a fixed cost of $2,800 to fulfill each retail order. Both theretailer and the manufacturer have an annual holding cost percentage of 20%. The retailer places 10orders with the laptop manufacturer each quarter (which it determined from an EOQ calculation). What quantity discount should the manufacturer offer the retailer in order to minimize the total supplychain costs?
