  1. The Ace Manufacturing Company has orders for three similar products:

    Product Order (Units)
    A 1900
    B 550
    C 1300

    Three machines are available for the manufacturing operations. All three machines can produce all the products at the same production rate. However, due to varying defect percentages of each product on each machine, the unit costs of the products vary depending on the machine used. Machine capacities for the next week and the unit costs are as follows:

    Machine Capacity (Units)
    1 1400
    2 1500
    3 1100
    Product
    Machine A B C
    1 $1.00 $1.20 $0.80
    2 $1.30 $1.40 $1.40
    3 $1.00 $1.00 $1.50

    Use the transportation model to develop the minimum cost production schedule for the products and machines. Show the linear programming formulation. If required, round your answers to one decimal place.

    The linear programming formulation and optimal solution are shown.

    Let x1A Units of product A on machine 1
    x1B = Units of product B on machine 1
    x3C = Units of product C on machine 3
    Min x1A + x1B + x1C + x2A + x2B + x2C + x3A + x3B + x3C
    s.t.
    x1A + x1B + x1C
    x2A + x2B + x2C
    x3A + x3B + x3C
    x1A + x2A + + x3A =
    x1B + x2B + x3B =
    x1C + x2C + x3C =
    xij ≥ 0 for all  i, j

Answer #1
Min 1.x1A + 1.2 x1B + 0.8 x1C + 1.3 x2A + 1.4 x2B + 1.4 x2C + 1 x3A + 1 x3B     + 1.5 x3C
s.t.
1 x1A + 1 x1B + 1 x1C 1400
1 x2A + 1 x2B + 1 x2C 1500
1 x3A + 1 x3B + 1 x3C 1100
1 x1A + 1 x2A + + 1 x3A = 1900
1 x1B + 1 x2B + 1 x3B = 550
1 x1C + 1 x2C + 1 x3C =      1300
