Question

Transcribed Image Text:Question 1
An electronic component manufacturer has two facilities producing a range of
resistors. Facility 1 costs €2000 per day to operate. Facility 2 costs €2500 per day to
operate. The production capacities per day are as follows:
Facility 1
Facility 2
Orders
25,000
Resistors 1% tolerance:
400
300
Resistors 5% tolerance
300
400
27,000
Resistors 10% tolerance
200
500
30,000
How many days should the manufacturer operate each facility in order to minimise
its costs and still produce sufficient resistors to meet its orders?
a. Formulate the problem as a linear programming model (hint: let X1 represent
the number of days that Facility 1 should operate and X2 represent the number
of days that Facility 2 should operate).
b. Solve the problem using graphical linear programming (corner point)
techniques.
Question 2
Solve question 1 above using Excel. The graph and minimum cost result should
automatically update if any of the constraints or objective function change.

- Please help me understand the problem Problem Intro: Cold-Chain in health care is defined as a temperature control supply chain involving a system of transporting and storing vaccines and drugs. It consists of three major components: transport and storage equipment, training personnel, and efficient management procedures. The majority of the vaccine in the cold chain is typically maintained at a temperature of 2-8°C. Maintaining cold chain integrity is extremely important for healthcare product manufacturers. Especially for the vaccines, improper storage, and handling practices that compromise vaccine viability prove a costly, time-consuming affair. Vaccines must be stored properly from manufacture until they are available for use. Any extreme temperatures of heat or cold will reduce vaccines potency; such vaccines, if administered, might not yield effective results or could cause adverse effects.
