1 Deterministic Operations Research, ME 366Q and ORI 391 Chapter 2: Homework #2 Solutions 11. Consider the following linear program. Maximize z = 6x 1 + 3x 2 subject to x 1 + 2x 2 2x 1 + x 2 20 x 1 x 2 x 1 + x 2 3 Sketch the feasible region and several isovalue contours for the objective function in the (x 1,x 2 )-space. Show the optimal solution on the graph. x 2 Z = 36 Z = 60 Note that the objective function line is parallel to the second constraint. All feasible points on that constraint line are alternative optima. 0 0 x Ten jobs are to be completed by three men during the next week. Each man works a 40- hour week. The times for the men to complete the jobs are shown in the table below. The values in the cells assume that each job is completed by a single person; however, jobs can be shared with completion times being determined proportionally. If no entry exists in a particular cell, it means that the corresponding job cannot be performed by the corresponding person. Set up and solve a linear programming model that will determine the optimal assignment of men to jobs. The goal is to minimize the total time required to complete all the jobs

2 Man \ Task A B C VARIABLE DEFINITIONS x ij : Proportion of job j performed by man i, for i = A, B, C, and j = 1,...,. Variables should be defined for only the man-job combinations not eliminated with a dash in the table. Thus there are 20 variables in the problem. CONSTRAINTS Each man can only work 40 hours.

3 Man A Man B Man C Hours Dual Man A Man B 32 0 Man C A company has two manufacturing plants (A and B) and three sales outlets (I, II, and III). Shipping costs from the plants to the outlets are as follows. Outlet Plant I II III A B The company wants to plan production, shipping and sales for the next two periods. The data for the periods is shown below. The plants can store products produced in one period for sale in the next. The maximum storage at each plant is 50 and the inventory cost is $1 per unit. Find the solution that maximizes profit. Plant A Manufacturing data Plant B Period Unit cost ($) Capacity Unit cost ($) Capacity Selling price ($) Demand Data Maximum sales Period I II III I II III
