Study Notes
Exercise 2-1: Product A and B
- A company produces and sells two products, A and B, using a shared production process.
- Total available man-hours: 45,000
- Production time: Product A - 4 hours/unit; Product B - 3 hours/unit
- Market demand limits: Product A - maximum 7,000 units; Product B - maximum 10,000 units
- Profit per unit: Product A - ₹400; Product B - ₹600
- The objective is to formulate a linear programming model to maximize profit.
Exercise 2-1: XYZ Company
- XYZ Company manufactures products A and B.
- Processing time: Product A - 20 minutes/unit; Product B - 2 hours/unit
- Weekly production capacity: 80 hours
- Material requirements: Product A - 3 kg/unit; Product B - 2 kg/unit
- Market constraint for Product B: Maximum 1,500 units per week.
- The objective is to create a linear programming model for optimal production.
Exercise 2-1: Manufacturing Two Products
- Two products, A and B, are manufactured across four and six departments, respectively.
- Product A: Selling price ₹250/unit, labor cost ₹160/unit, raw material cost ₹40/unit, weekly capacity 120 units.
- Product B: Selling price ₹260/unit, labor cost ₹40/unit, raw material cost ₹40/unit. Weekly capacity is not specified.
- The goal is to formulate a linear programming problem likely focused on maximizing profit or minimizing cost given the capacity limits.
Exercise 2-1: XYZ Confectionery
- XYZ Confectionery produces Marie and Gluco biscuits.
- Marie biscuits yield a 20% profit and sell for ₹200 per box.
- Average processing time: Blending - 3 minutes; Cooking - 2 minutes; Packing - 3 minutes.
- Maximum available hours: Blending - 10 hours; Cooking - 20 hours; Packing - 15 hours.
- The objective is to formulate a linear program for maximizing biscuit box production.
Exercise 2-1: Cutting Tools Production
- Three types of cutting tools (A, B, C) are produced.
- Processing times (hours) and costs/selling prices (₹) vary across lathe, grinder, and polisher machines. See table in original problem statement for details.
- Maximum machine hours: Lathe - 50 hours; Grinder - 40 hours; Polisher - 80 hours.
- The objective is to formulate a linear programming model to maximize profit.
Exercise 2-1: Doll Manufacturing
- Three types of dolls are manufactured: Stilly, Walky, and Walky-Talky.
- Production plan: 50 Stilly, 25 Walky, 30 Walky-Talky dolls.
- Profit contributions and assembly times (hours) vary by doll type. See table in original problem statement for details.
- The objective is to formulate a linear programming model to optimize assembly time while meeting the given production plan.
