Study Notes
Linear Programming, Transportation, and Production Planning
-
Constraint 1: A production problem uses the constraint 0.4x₁ + 0.6x₂ ≤ 300. Optimal solution uses 300 labor hours. The constraint is binding because the left-hand side equals the right-hand side.
-
Constraint 2: A resource constraint is 5x₁ + 2x₂ ≤ 50. The solution only uses 45 units. The constraint is not binding because the left-hand side does not reach 50.
-
Constraint 3 (New): A company with two suppliers and three warehouses has a constraint for Warehouse 3 as x₁₃ + x₂₃ = 150. This means the total shipments to Warehouse 3 must be 150.
-
Shadow Price: A shadow price of $10 indicates that adding one unit of the resource increases profit by $10.
-
Shadow Price of $0: A shadow price of $0 means the constraint is non-binding, and additional resource availability will not affect the objective function.
-
Transportation Problem Objective Function: A company's transportation problem with costs (C₁₁ = 5, C₁₂ = 6, C₂₁ = 4) has an objective function to minimize cost (Z = 5x₁₁ + 6x₁₂ + 4x₂₁).
-
Inventory Holding Cost Objective Function: A factory producing two products with costs of $12 and $18 per unit and inventory holding costs of $3 and $4 per unit, respectively, has an objective function to minimize total cost (Z = 12xA + 18xB + 3sA + 4sB).
-
Minimization Problem Objective Function: The goal of an objective function in a minimization problem is to minimize resource use and minimize total cost.
-
Feasibility (Constraint 1): 4x₁ + 3x₂ ≤ 24. Examples of feasible solutions: x₁ = 2, x₂ = 4; x₁ = 3, x₂ = 2
-
Feasibility (Constraint 2): 5x₁ + 2x₂ ≥ 20. x₁ = 2, x₂ = 5 is not feasible.
-
Feasibility (Constraint 3): Additional examples of x1 and x2 values that satisfy 4x₁ + 3x₂ <= 24 are provided
