Companies A, B, and C supply components to three plants (F, G,
and H) via two crossdocking facilities (D and E). It costs $4 to ship
from D regardless of final destination and $3 to ship to E
regardless of supplier. Shipping to D from A, B, and C costs $3, $4,
and $5, respectively, and shipping from E to F, G, and H costs $10,
$9, and $8, respectively. Suppliers A, B, and C can provide 200,
300 and 500 units respectively and plants F, G, and H need 350,
450, and 200 units respectively. Crossdock facilities D and E can
handle 600 and 700 units, respectively. Logistics Manager, Aretha
Franklin, had previously used "Chain of Fools" as her supply chain
consulting company, but now turns to you for some solid advice.
Set up the solution in Excel and solve with Solver. What are total

Virtualization soft ware is being aggressively deployed to reduce the costs of managing today’s high performance servers. Companies like VMWare, Microsoft and IBM have all developed a range of virtualization products. Th e general concept, described in Chapter 5, is that a hypervisor layer can be introduced between the hardware and the operating system to allow multiple operating systems to share the same physical hardware. Th e hypervisor layer is then responsible for allocating CPU and memory resources, as well as handling services typically handled by the operating system (e.g., I/O).Virtualization provides an abstract view of the underlying hardware to the hosted operating system and application soft ware. Th is will require us to rethink how multi-core and multiprocessor systems will be designed in the future to support the sharing of CPUs and memories by a number of operating systems concurrently.> Select two hypervisors on the market today, and compare and contrast how they…
A fertilizer manufacturer has to fulfill supply contracts to its two main customers (650 tons to Customer A and 800 tons to Customer B). It can meet this demand by shipping existing inventory from any of its three warehouses. Warehouse 1
has 400 tons of inventory onhand, Warehouse 2 (W2) has 500 tons, and Warehouse 3 (W3) has 600 tons. The company would like to arrange the shipping for the lowest cost possible, where the per-ton transit costs are as follows:
W 1
W 2
W 3
$7.50
$6.75
$6.25
$7.00
$6.50
$8.00

Customer B
Write the objective function and the constraint in equations. Let V;= tons shipped to customer i from warehouse j, and so on. For example, VA1 = tons shipped to customer A from warehouse W1.
This exercise contains only parts b, c, d, e, and f.
b) The objective function for the LP model =

Your company has two trucks that it wishes to use on a specific contract. One is a new truck the company is making payments on, and one is an old truck that is fully paid for. The new truck’s costs per mile are as follows: 54₵ (fuel/additives), 24₵ (truck payments), 36₵ (driver), 12₵ (repairs), and 1₵ (misc.). The old truck’s costs are 60₵ (fuel/additives), 0₵ (truck payments), 32₵ (rookie driver), 24₵ (repairs), and 1₵ (misc.). The company knows that truck breakdowns lose customers, so it has capped estimated repair costs at $14,000. The total distance involved is 90,000 miles (to be divided between the two trucks).arrow_forwardMost of the other types of network flow problems can be viewed as simple variations of the transshipment problem.

When customers need to transport goods between origin and destination, NTS supplies them with one or more empty containers in which the goods can be loaded.Upon arrival at the destination, the goods are unloaded, and the empty containers must be transported to the pickup point for new customers. Therefore, NTS management needs to reallocate empty containers periodically (every week). The company's focus is on the transportation activity of empty containers, which is very expensive (almost 35% of the total operational costs).

Customers purchase parts to take to their individual mechanics to complete vehicle repairs or they may choose to bring their vehicles to Star Garage for in-house repairs and servicing. This means that they pay for both the parts and the labour associated with the type of service required. Some services do not include any new parts, just the labour costs for that service. Individual customers must pay for all parts purchases in full at the time of sale. Individual customers must pay 50% down when they bring their vehicles in for servicing and pay the balance when they come to pick them up when the job is completed. Corporate customers, however, are billed monthly for all sales (parts or service).
