percent hot pepper, and twenty-five percent sugar. The profit contribution per pound for the original sauce is $1.55, for the pineapple sauce it is $2.10, and for the hot and spicy sauce it is $2.35. The case study is asking the reader to create a linear programming model, that will allow the company to use the available ingredients to maximize profit. The problem was identified by the data, because the cost of ingredients is not included in their profit analysis. The cost of the ingredients varies greatly

A Priority based Compromise Fuzzy Goal Programming Approach for Channel Allocation Problem Abstract Some companies produce and sell all of their own products through their own internal channels and some use multiple external channels to distribute goods to consumers. Many authors have presented mathematical model for channel allocation problem. Tsai et al (2008) presented a mixed integer fuzzy goal programming model for channel allocation problem considering three different fuzzy goals. In this paper

types of exact methods were proposed for developing the job shop scheduling problem (JSSP). Exact methods are considered simple approaches. They do guarantee optimal solutions as long as problems are small. Most of the JSSPs can be formulated as linear programming,

mathematical optimization that includes methods like linear programming, dynamic programming, integer programming, Pontryagin’s maximum principle and nonlinear programming. Linear programming has been popular since its introduction and has helped solve many real world problems yet it suffers from a grave limitation i.e. the real world is not linear which restricts its use to linear optimization problems or to the ones that can be approximated as linear models. Problems with strong nonlinearities will

Load Optimum MPLS Routing with Routers and Links (N+M) ABSTRACT: MPLS is now a days the most important thing in the intra domain routing (i.e. routing in own domain or network). The main advantage of MPLS is the flexibility it offers towards traffic engineering ex. To support higher demand without overloading any links. Most of the major vendors are now offering MPLS routers and many ISPs are deploying MPLS in their IP backbone as well as in ATMs and frame relays. Because of this increase in transition

Executive Summary Introduction Angela Fox and Zooey Caulfield are recent college graduates from State University with a degree in food and nutrition. With their love for food and nutrition these two friends have decided to open up a French restaurant in Draperton, which is also the town State University is located in. They believe their business will prosper because there are no French restaurants in the area leaving the restaurant to be unique. They acquired a Victorian home just off of Main

1. Introduction It is acknowledged that real-world situations could be represented by well structured and formulated Linear Programming models. These mathematical tools contribute significantly to business activities and can be used to tackle problems that constantly arise. Franco Sounds is a company specialised in manufacturing Hi-Fi Amplifiers of top quality and its main goal, at the moment, is to minimise its overall production and transportation cost. This report presents a quantitative analysis

Cory Maillet Krisandra Horn Quain Lawn and Garden, Inc. Case Analysis After a false retirement Bill and Jeanne Quain realized their destined action in the plant and shrub business. The need for a high-quality commercial fertilizer prompted the innovation of a blended fertilizer called “Quain-Grow”. Working with chemists at Rutgers University, a mixture was constructed from four compounds, C-30, C-92, D-21 and E-11. The costs for these four compounds per pound is as follows: CHEMICAL COMPOUND COST
