integer-programming problem. It is said to be a mixed integer program when some‚ but not all‚ variables are restricted to be integer‚ and is called a pure integer program when all decision variables must be integers. As we saw in the preceding chapter‚ if the constraints are of a network nature‚ then an integer solution can be obtained by ignoring the integrality restrictions and solving the resulting linear program. In general‚ though‚ variables will be fractional in the linear-programming solution‚ and further

of the company Maxfield Turner believes that they should look at the company’s product offerings and production constraints. He wants to review with the accounting department the potential impact of eliminating less profitable product offerings and with the production department on ways to loosen the constraint in the coating process. Issues Addressed A. Identify the Binding Constraint Since management has identified that the bottleneck occurs at the coating and sharpening process production should

Homework #1 Solutions 3.1 a. Let X1 =the number of hours of process 1 used X2 =the number of hours of process 2 used The objective is to minimize the cost of producing the three products A‚ B and C. The constraints are on the demand of each product. Min 4X1 + X2 subject to 3X1 + X2 ≥ 10 (A’s demand) X1 + X2 ≥ 5 (B’s demand) X1 ≥ 3 (C’s demand) X1 ‚ X2 ≥ 0 (nonnegativity) b. From the graph we can see that the isocost line just leaves the feasible region where the demand for C and B intersect. The

Overview of the Situation • Focuses on various ways to loosen constraints • Demonstrates how to identify which products are most profitable and which products are less profitable when confronted with constraints • Makes the point that large profits that may be lost if a company does not adequately deal with constraints Issues Addressed 1.

Lehigh Steel Background- Lehigh Steel was founded in 1913 and it manufactures specialty steels for high strength‚ high use applications. In 1975 it was acquired by Palmer due to its ownership of Continuous Rolling Mill‚ a specialized equipment that convert steel intermediate shape to wire for Palmer’s bearing. The industry as a whole is highly competitive‚ even a small change in price could alter customers’ consumption decision greatly‚ keeping costs down is therefore‚ one of the most important
