Chapter 11.9, Problem 37P
Summary Introduction
Interpretation:Minimax rectilinear objective is to be used to solve the problem 30.
Concept Introduction:A minimax area issue is viewed as which includes finding the area of an office in the plane so the greatest rectilinear separation between the office and a subjective, yet fixed, nonempty and limited set in the plane will be limited. A geometrical methodology is produced for discovering all answers for the issue.

A company has a manufacturing plant that supply three markets in city A, B, and C.
Management is looking for a place to locate a single distribution that will minimize
total transportation costs.
The plant is estimated to move (send) a total of shipment of 12,700 ton per month
to
the new distribution center.
The transportation rate of moving shipment from the plant to the distribution
center is $ 0.08 per ton per mile.
Market A will receive a total shipment of 6,200 ton per month,
market B will receive a total shipment of 2,000 ton per month, and
market C will receive a total shipment of 4,500 ton per month.
The transportation rate between the distribution center and the markets are as
follows:
$0.19 per ton per mile to market A,
$0.37 per ton per mile to market B, and
$0.25 per ton per mile to market C.
The horizontal and vertical coordinates of the plants and markets are follows:
Plant, 25, 75
Market A, 30, 5
Market B, 36, 24
Market C, 15, 40

Katie Reynolds owns two exclusive women's clothingstores in Miami. In her plan to expand to a third location,she has narrowed her decision to three sites- one in a downtownoffice building, one in a shopping mall, and one in anold Victorian house in the suburban area of Coral Gables. Shefeels that rent is absol utely the most importa nt factor to beconsidered, although walk-in traffic is 90% as important asrent. Further, the more distant the new store is from her twoexisting stores, the better. She weights this factor to be 80%as important as walk-in traffic. Katie developed the followingtable, in which she graded each site from A to D, with A beingbest. Which site is preferable?

Customers call to order their pizza and Eve will deliver. Her business has grown so much that she hired four employees. Given the rate of growth, Eve decided to move her operations out of her kitchen and build a separate kitchen for her pizza business. She would like to choose a location that minimizes the total (or average) travel distance to deliver pizza to customers. From historical records, Eve has decided that her customers are unevenly distributed throughout her service area. To make her problem more manageable, she grouped the customers in the same general area into six regions. b.

Under a new proposed distribution setting, the company wants to setup an intermediate holding facility, such that gasoline will first get transported to this holding facility, and then, from there, to the distributors. What will be the ideal location (coordinates) for the intermediate holding facility? (Round to 2 decimal places.)arrow_forwardLocating Warehouses. Southeastern Foods has hired you to analyze their distribution-system design. The company has 11 distribution centers, with monthly volumes as listed below. Seven of these sites can support warehouses, in terms of the infrastructure available, and are designated by (W). The monthly fixed cost for operating one of these warehouses is estimated at $3,600, although there is no capacity limit in their design. Southeastern could build warehouses at any of the designated locations, but its criterion is to minimize the total of fixed operating costs and variable shipment costs. The table below shows the cost per carton of shipping from any potential warehouse location to any distribution center. Using the evolutionary solver, find the minimum monthly cost for Southeastern Foods.arrow_forward
