a) Give the names of three types of integer programming models and explain them.
The Progressive Company's research and development division is in the process of developing four lines of potential new products. Management must decide which of these four products to manufacture and at what levels. You have asked the OI department to formulate a mathematical programming model to find the most profitable mix of products.
The start-up of the manufacture of any product is associated with a substantial cost, which is given in the first line of the table. The management objective is to find the product mix that maximizes total profit (total net income minus fixed costs).
Define the continuous decision variables x1, x2, x3, and x4 as the production levels of products 1, 2, 3, and 4. By company policy, management has imposed the following restrictions on these variables:1. At most, only two of these products should be produced.2. Either product 3 or 4 can be produced only if product 1 or 2 is produced.3. Either 5x1 1 3x2 1 6x3 1 4x4 # 6,000 or 4x1 1 6x2 1 3x3 1 5x4 # 6,000.…
The Texas Consolidated Electronics Company is contemplating a research and development program encompassing eight research projects. The company is constrained from embarking on all projects by the number of available management scientists (40) and the budget available for R&D projects ($300,000). Further, if project 2 is selected, project 5 must also be selected (but not vice versa). Following are the resource requirements and the estimated profit for each project
Formulate the integer programming model for this problem and solve it by using the computer.

- If during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.arrow_forwardA coding supervisor has two full-time coders who average 35 productive hours per week. A standard of 20 minutes per chart has been established as the departmental coding standard. The facility anticipates an increase in the number of discharges since a new wing to the facility is nearing completion. It is anticipated that the number of discharges will increase to a total of 300 discharges to be coded per week. Will new staff be required and, if so, how many additional coders will be needed?arrow_forwardGive the names of three types of integer programming models and explain them. An easy way to solve integer programming problems is to round off round down fractional solution values to integer values. What are the difficulties (or results) of rounding off and rounding down fractional solution values to integer values.arrow_forward
- An inventor has developed a system that allows visitors to museums, zoos, and other attractions to get information at the touch of a digital code. For example, zoo patrons can listen to an announcement (recorded on a microchip) about each animal they see. It is anticipated that the device would rent for $3.00 each. The installation cost for the complete system is expected to be about $400,000. The Milwaukee Zoo is interested in having the system installed, but management is uncertain about whether to take the risk. A financial analysis of the problem indicates that if more than 10% of the Zoo visitors rent the system the zoo will make a profit. To help make the decision, a sample of 400 zoo visitors is given details of the system’s capabilities and cost. Forty eight people say they would rent the device. c). Estimate the actual percentage of the visitors who would rent the system using a 98% confidence interval using Minitab.arrow_forwardAn inventor has developed a system that allows visitors to museums, zoos, and other attractions to get information at the touch of a digital code.
