The cost of the first type of cheese is 41 dinars, and the cost of the second type is 35 dinars. Each of the two types of cheese contains four components. The manufacture of cheese of the first type requires a mixture of (2, 1, 5, 0.6) and the second type (3, 1, 3, 0.25) units of the components (D, C, B, A). on the sequence. The weekly needs of foodstuffs (D, C, B, A) that are supposed to be provided for the cheese industry are (1250, 250, 900, 232.5) kg, respectively.

Southwood Furniture Company is a U.S.-based furniture manufacturer that offshored all of its actual manufacturing opera- tions to China about a decade ago. It set up a distribution center in Hong Kong from which the company ships its items to the United States on container ships. The company learned early on that it could not rely on local Chinese freight forwarders to arrange for sufficient containers for the company's shipments, so it contracted to purchase containers from a Taiwanese manufacturer and then sell them to shipping companies at the U.S. ports the containers are shipped to. Southwood needs 715 containers each year. It costs $1200 to hold a container at its distribution center, and it costs $6000 to receive an order for the containers. Determine the optimal order size, min- imum total annual inventory cost, number of annual orders, and time between orders.arrow_forward
