Chapter 3, Problem 23RP
Program Plan Intro
Linear
- The linear programming (LP) is also known as linear optimization.
- Consider a mathematical model, and its requirements are used to represent by the linear relationships. The linear programming is the best method to achieve the best outcome of this mathematical model. The outcomes may be, maximum profit or lower cost.
- The linear optimization is also called as mathematical optimization because, it is a special case of mathematical programming.
- More formally, the LP is a technique for optimizing linear objective function subject to constraints of linear equality and linear inequality.

A company manufactures 3 products in 2 different factories. The cost of production and time required for production for each product varies depending on which factory produces it.
The time and cost required for production of each product in each factory is provided in the tables in this worksheet.
Demand for products 1, 2 and 3 are 200, 240 and 100 units, respectively.
There are a total of 3,000 hours available in each factory.
Additionally, at least 60% of the total units of Product 1 must be produced in Factory A, and at least 40% of of the total units of Product 2 must be produced in Factory B.
Create a linear programming model and use the Solver add-in to determine the optimal production plan that will minimize total cost.
Note: The cost is per unit not per hour. All demand must be met.

- Sprocket manufacturing. The manager of this production firm is faced with a potential problem: shortages in the supply of a vital gear sprocket. He is considering the development of an in-house capability to make the sprockets, knowing that the firm needs 35,000 such sprockets each year. If the firm elects to make the sprockets internally, then it must select one of the three possible production processes. Each has different costs, as shown in Table 10.17. Adopting a manual process may lead to union problems. The manager estimates the probability of these problems as 25%, and knows that if they do occur, then the variable cost will increase by $0.50 per sprocket. Further, if the semi-automatic or fully automatic option is selected, then additional training of personnel will be required. The amount and therefore the cost of training are uncertain. For the semi-automatic process, the fixed cost of basic training will add $15,000.

- Clyde Clerk is reviewing his firm’s expense reimbursement policies with the new salesperson, Trav Farr. “Our reimbursement policies depend on the situation. You see, first we determine if it is a local trip. If it is, we only pay mileage of 45 cents a mile. If the trip was a one-day trip, we pay mileage and then check the times of departure and return. To be reimbursed for breakfast, you must leave by 7:00 A.M., lunch by 11:00 A.M., and have dinner by 5:00 P.M. To receive reimbursement for breakfast, you must return later than 10:00 A.M., lunch later than 2:00 P.M., and have dinner by 7:00 P.M. On a trip lasting more than one day, we allow hotel, taxi, and airfare, as well as meal allowances.
