Chapter 5, Problem 11P
Cooper River Glass Works (RGW) produces four different models of desk lamps as shown in Figure 5.15. The operations manager knows that total monthly demand exceeds the capacity available for production. Thus, she is interested in determining the product mix which will maximize profits. Each model’s price, routing, processing times, and material cost are provided in Figure 5.15. Demand next month is estimated to be 200 units of model Alpha, 250 units of model Bravo, 150 units of model Charlie, and 225 units of model Delta. CRGW operates only one 8-hour shift per day and is
- Which station is the bottleneck?
- Using the traditional method, which bases decisions solely on a product’s contribution to profits and overhead, what is the optimal product mix and what is the overall profitability?
- Using the bottleneck-based method, what is the optimal product mix and what is the overall profitability?

The Wearever Carpet Company manufactures two brands of carpet—shag and sculptured— in 100-yard lots. It requires 8 hours to produce one lot of shag carpet and 6 hours to produce one lot of sculptured carpet. The company has the following production goals, in prioritized order: (1) Do not underutilize production capacity, which is 480 hours. (2) Achieve product demand of 40 (100-yard) lots for shag and 50 (100-yard) lots for sculptured carpet. Meeting demand for shag is more important than meeting demand for sculptured, by a ratio of 5 to 2. (3) Limit production overtime to 20 hours. a. Formulate a goal programming model to determine the amount of shag and sculptured carpet to produce to best meet the company’s goals. b. Solve this model by using the computer.

The Makonsel Company is a fully integrated company that both produces goods and sells them at its retail outlets. After production, the goods are stored in the company's two warehouses until needed by the retail outlets. Trucks are used to transport the goods from the two plants to the warehouses, and then from the warehouses to the three retail outlets. Using units of full truckloads, the following table shows each plant's monthly output, its shipping cost per truckload sent to each warehouse, and the maximum amount that it can ship per month to each warehouse. To Unit Shipping Cost Shipping Capacity From Warehouse 1 Warehouse 2 Warehouse 1 Warehouse 2 Output Plant 1 $425 $560 125 150 200 Plant 2 $510 $600 175 200 300 For each retail outlet (RO), the next table shows its monthly demand, its shipping cost per truckload from each warehouse, and the maximum amount that can be shipping per month from each warehouse.

- Hawkins 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 rod is $2,000, and the cost required to set up the production for the 6-cylinder connecting rod is $3,500. Manufacturing costs are $15 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $18 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. Letx4 = 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 produce the 4-cylinder…arrow_forward.
