Question

Transcribed Image Text:The Hardgrave Machine Company produces computer components at its plants in Kingston, ON;
Prince George, BC; and Sudbury, ON. These plants supply the demand for orders at Hardgrave's two
warehouses in Hamilton and Regina.
The tables below present the information of: (i) the production cost and capacity for each of the three
plants, and the demand at each of the two warehouses

Recent regulations require that no more than 8,000 units are to be shipped from the plant in Kingston to
the Warehouse located in Hamilton. Also, at least 30% of the total computer components shipped to the
warehouse in Regina are from the plant in Prince George.
Formulate algebraically the above problem to help Hardgrave satisfy the demand at the warehouses at
the lowest production and transportation costs. Define the decision variables, objective function, and
constraints. DO NOT SOLVE.

- Johnson Industries received a contract to develop and produce four high-intensity longdistance receiver/transmitters for cellular telephones. The i rst took 2,000 labor hours and $39,000 worth of purchased and manufactured parts; the second took 1,500 labor hours and $37,050 in parts; the third took 1,450 labor hours and $31,000 in parts; and the fourth took 1,275 labor hours and $31,492 in parts.Johnson was asked to bid on a follow-on contract for another dozen receiver/transmitter units. Ignoring any forgetting factor effects, what should Johnson estimate time and parts costs to be for the dozen units?
