Working hours available in Cutting dept = 25*8*5 = 1000 hours
Working hours available in Sewing dept = 31*8*5 = 1240 hours
Working hours available in Packing dept = 5*8*5 = 200 hours
a) LP model is following
Let S and B be the weekly production of Shirts and Blouses
Max 80S + 100B
s.t.
20S+40B <= 1000
60S+40B <= 1240
12S+4B <= 200
S, B >= 0
Solution by simplex method is following:
b) In the optimal tableau, s3 = 40, which means there will be 40 idle hours in packing dept. So 1 worker will always be idling if the optimal schedule is put in practice. So, we suggest human resource dept to use that worker in cutting or sewing instead of packing.
c) In the optimal tableau, we see that the dual price of s1 and s2 are 1.75 and 0.75 respectively. (see the last row and column s1 and s2 of optimal tableau. Dual prices are negative of these values)
Dual price of s1 is higher (1.75) , therefore hiring a worker in Cutting dept will give more incremental profit. Hence, new worker should be hired in cutting dept.
d) We see that the optimal tableau will change if the minimum ratio corresponding to s2 in iteration 1 becomes more than 10, that will happen, if the RHS becomes 400 from 240. So allowable increase is 160. The minimum ratio will also change if the intermediate solution value for s2 in interation 1 becomes 0. So allowable decrease is 240
Therefore, range of feasibility is from 1000 (=1240-240) to 1400 (=1240+160)
Please show all work so it can be easily understood. This must be done by hand...
A "product mix" problem can be solved quite easily by hand, as long as there is only one constraint (i.e. one resource in which demand > capacity). However, when there are multiple constraints it becomes quite complex. In the lab, we used Solver to find the product mix that results in the highest profit, subject to capacity constraints for each resource, and the constraint that we would not make more than the demand for any given product. Set up a...

Please show all work. Thanks. Bhen and Geri run an ice cream business in the town of Palouse, WA. To produce the ice cream, they hire labor L at a wage of W dollars per worker. L is the only input in production. L workers produce Y pints of ice cream according to the production function, Y = F(L)-101-9L 2 They then sell the ice cream at the price of P dollars per pint of ice cream. 1. Plot the...

How can we assess whether a project is a success or a failure? This case presents two phases of a large business transformation project involving the implementation of an ERP system with the aim of creating an integrated company. The case illustrates some of the challenges associated with integration. It also presents the obstacles facing companies that undertake projects involving large information technology projects.
