Question
Transcribed Image Text:Hart Manufacturing makes three products. Each product requires manufacturing operations in three departments: A, B, and C. The labor-hour requirements, by department, are as follows.

During the next production period, the labor-hours available are 450 in department A, 350 in department B, and 50 in department C. The profit contributions per unit are $25 for product 1, $27 for product 2, and $29 for product 3.
(a) Formulate a linear programming model for maximizing total profit contribution. (Let P; = units of product produced, for i = 1, 2, 3.)

(b) Solve the linear program formulated in part (a). How much of each product should be produced, and what is the projected total profit contribution (in dollars)?
(P₁, P₂, P3) =

(c) After evaluating the solution obtained in part (b), one of the production supervisors noted that production setup costs had not been taken into account. She noted that setup costs are $410 for product 1, $600 for product 2, and $630 for product 3. If the solution
developed in part (b) is to be used, what is the total profit contribution (in dollars) after taking into account the setup costs?
$3890
X
(d) Management realized that the optimal product mix, taking setup costs into account, might be different from the one recommended in part (b). Formulate a mixed-integer linear program that takes setup costs into account. Management also stated that we should
not consider making more than 140 units of product 1, 155 units of product 2, or 190 units of product 3. (Let P, = units of product i produced and y, be the 0-1 variable that is one if any quantity of product i is produced and zero otherwise, for i = 1, 2, 3.)
What is the objective function of the mixed-integer linear program?
Transcribed Image Text:In addition to the constraints from part (a), what other constraints should be added to the mixed-integer linear program?
s.t.
units of Product 1 produced
units of Product 2 produced
units of Product 3 produced

If the number of air conditioning units assembled per month follows a normal distribution, calculate the probability of Freeze, Inc to assemble a quantity of air conditioning units greater than the monthly break-even point calculated in problem 3-a. b. An improved assembling process is proposed to Freeze, Inc. to reduce the variable cost from $500 per unit to $400 per unit., increase the mean number of air conditioning units assembled per month from 750 to 850 and reduce the standard deviation to 90 units. As a result of the improvements, monthly fixed costs would go up from $250,000 to $300,000. Once these improvements are implemented, calculate the new number of air conditioning units that Freeze Inc. must sell every month to break-even, discuss and justify if you would recommend the process improvement initiative. c.
