Chapter 6.5, Problem 12P

a)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: convert the given problem into balanced problem by adding an appropriate row and column and find the optimal solution using solver.

Concept Introduction: one of the feasible solution is that the objective function ranges from maximum to minimum value depends upon the profit or loss of the cost problem is called optimal solution.. This kind of solution required by a company to solve the problem or to achieve the goal. This solutions that could maximize or minimize the profit or reduce the costs.

b)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: Find the optimal solution using solver and inequality constraints.

Concept Introduction: For all kinds of optimization problem, there could be one or more than one optimal solutions and sometimes there is infinite number of optimal solutions are occurred. Optimal solution is the one type of feasible solution, which has the objective function reaches their goal.

c)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: Compare the solutions in part a and part b and clarify the reason.

Concept Introduction: For all kinds of optimization problem, there could be one or more than one optimal solutions and sometimes there is infinite number of optimal solutions are occurred. Optimal solution is the one type of feasible solution, which has the objective function reaches their goal.

d)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: Modify the model in Part b also resolve to find the optimal solution and clarify the objective value increased or decreased.

Concept Introduction: For all kinds of optimization problem, there could be one or more than one optimal solutions and sometimes there is infinite number of optimal solutions are occurred. Optimal solution is the one type of feasible solution, which has the objective function reaches their goal.

A company has four distribution centers, located in Atlanta, Lexington, Milwaukee, and Salt Lake City, and ships to 12 retail stores, located in Seattle, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Tucson, Denver, Charlotte, Minneapolis, Fayetteville, Birmingham, Orlando, Cleveland, and Philadelphia. The company wants to minimize the transportation costs of shipping one of its products. The per-unit shipping cost from each distribution center to each retail location and the amounts currently in inventory and ordered at each retail location are shown in the accompanying table. Develop and solve an optimization model to minimize the total transportation cost and answer parts a and b. Click here to view the shipping data. .... a. What is the minimum cost of shipping? Total Cost = S (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
Suppliers A, B, and C supply components to three plants -- F, G, and H via two transshipment facilities -- T1 and T2. It costs $4 to ship from T1 regardless of final destination and $3 to ship to T2 regardless of supplier. Shipping to T1 from A, B, and C costs $3, $4, and $5, respectively, and shipping from T2 to F, G, and H costs $10, $9, and $8, respectively. Suppliers A, B, and C can provide 200, 300 and 500 units respectively and plants F, G, and H need 350, 450, and 200 units respectively. The Logistics Manager has come to you for help.
