- What is linear programming?arrow_forwardShow your step-by-step process using the SPECIAL PURPOSE LINEAR PROGRAMMING: ASSIGNMENT METHOD to solve this problem. Four Engineers are to work on 4 projects of Dora Company. The problem is to decide which engineer should be assigned to which project. Each engineer charges different fees on each project, due to distances of the projects and the complexity of the work. The cost of assigning particular engineers to particular projects are as stated below. The objective is to find the lease cost of assignment. Engineer 1 to Projects A, B, C, D = $11k, $8k, $10k, $7k respectively.Engineer 2 to Projects A, B, C, D = $6k, $5k, $3k, $8k respectively.Engineer 3 to Projects A, B, C, D = $4k, $8k, $10k, $9k respectively.Engineer 4 to Projects A, B, C, D = $11k, $10k, $5k, $7k respectively.arrow_forwardWhat are some of the potential benefits that may be obtained via the use of dynamic programming?arrow_forward

Task-1: Write down an appropriate equation for the net profit function, P in order to account for the net profit made by Best Buy after selling: (i) x-number of televisions (TVs) that made $250 profit on the sale of each SONY TVs (ii) y-number of televisions that made $10,500 profit on the sale of each PHILIP TVs respectively, in that event. Task-2: Profit margin, P as discussed in Task-1 was subject to the following constraints applied to the products. a. Maximum cost price was $5000 to manufacture each piece of SONY TVs and $10,000 to manufacture each piece of PHILIP TVs respectively. All TVs were manufactured at a maximum cost of $10 x106 as given in Plot No 1: Plot No. 1: ($5000 x + $ 10000y) ≤ $10 million; Graph the Plot No. 1 up to the scale in a paper. b. 10 and 150 employees worked to…arrow_forward2. As part of a quality improvement initiative, Consolidated Electronics employees complete a three-day training program on teaming and a two-day training program on problem solving. The manager of quality improvement has requested that at least 8 training programs on teaming and at least 10 training programs on problem solving be offered during the next six months. In addition, senior-level management has specified that at least 25 training programs must be offered during this period. Consolidated Electronics uses a consultant to teach the training programs. During the next quarter, the consultant has 84 days of training time available. Each training program on teaming costs $10,000 and each training program on problem solving costs $8000. a. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the number of training programs on teaming and the number of training programs on problem solving that should be offered in order to minimize total cost. b. Determine the optimal…arrow_forward

Alpha Airline wishes to schedule no more than one flight out of a given airport to each of the following cities: C, D, L, and N. The available departure slots are 8 a.m., 10 a.m., and 12 noon. Alpha leases the airplanes at the cost of $5000 before and including 10 a.m. and $3000 after 10 a.m., and is able to lease at most two per departure slot. Also, if a flight leaves for location N in a time slot, there must be a flight leaving for location L in the same time slot. The expected profit (in $1000) contribution before rental costs per flight is shown in the table below. Time Slot 8 10 12 C 10 6 6 D 9 10 9 L 14 11 10 N 18 15 10 a) Formulate an integer linear program model that can be used to find the profit-maximizing schedule. Define your decision variables as Xij = 1 if a flight to destination i occurs in time slot j and Xij = 0 otherwise; and Yj = number of airplanes rented for time slot j.

- GRAPHICAL METHOD: A store wants to liquidate 200 of its shirts and 100 pairs of pants from last season. They have decided to put together two offers, A and B. Offer A is a package of one shirt and a pair of pants which will sell for $30. Offer B is a package of three shirts and a pair of pants, which will sell for $50. The store does not want to sell less than 20 packages of Offer A and less than 10 of Offer B. How many packages of each do they have to sell to maximize the money generated from the promotion?

She has been made an overall official in charge of organizing a painting exhibition for one of the clients of the company. For ensuring that the exhibition takes place successfully, she identifies the various activities involved and divides the whole work into various task groups like the marketing committee, decoration committee, and reception committee. In order to facilitate coordination within and among committees, she appoints a supervisor for each group. Each member in the group is asked to report to their respective supervisors and all the supervisors are expected to work as per Jacky's orders.

The Head of Department of ITC, Mr Rumi, has discovered that on more than one occasion recently a computer virus has been introduced to the computers in the department. He thinks that the viruses have been introduced from computer disks brought in by students. He has decided to introduce a system where all disks used in the department must be checked for a virus before they can be put into the computers. He says to you, I would like you to send a memo in my name to all teachers who use the computer rooms. You will have to tell them that all disks brought in by students must be checked before there are used. The teachers have to check them carefully, of course. We have got to stop these viruses being introduced before they cause serious problems. Oh yes, reminds them to lock up the rooms when they leave.…arrow_forward
