to buy packages from multiple suppliers at the minimum possible cost. There are 12 different SKUs to be fulfilled from 7 different suppliers. Here is the bidding sequence: During the analysis‚ we will analyze the problem and ignore the constraint of the number of winning bidders and maximum total winning bids by each supplier. Analysis: First‚ we decide to build base model for analysis. In the base model‚ we find there are two allocation methods both achieving the minimum possible

limited resources. The LPP is a class of mathematical programming where the functions representing the objectives and the constraints are linear. Optimization refers to the maximization or minimization of the objective functions. You can define the general linear programming model as follows: Maximize or Minimize Z = c1 x1 + c2 x2 +………….. +cn xn subject to the constraints‚ a11 x1 + a12 x2 + …………….+ a1n xn ~ b1 a21 x1 + a22 x2 +……………..+ a2n xn ~ b2 …………………………………………… …………………………………………… am1x1

A project network illustrates the relationships between activities (or tasks) in the project. Showing the activities as nodes or on arrows between event nodes are two main ways to draw those relationships. With activities on arrow (AOA) diagrams‚ you are limited to showing only the finish-to-start relationships - that is‚ the arrow can represent only that the activity spans the time from the event at the start of the arrow to the event at the end. As well‚ "dummy" activities have to be added
