Linear programming model
Golf Shafts Inc (GSI) produces graphite shafts for several manufacturers of golf clubs. Two GSI manufacturing facilities one located in San Diego and the other in Tampa, have the capability to produce shafts in varying degrees of stiffness ranging from regular models used primarily by average golfers. GSI just received a contract for the production of 200,000 regular shafts and 75,000 stiff shafts. Both plants are currently producing shafts for previous orders, which means that neither plant has sufficient capacity and the Tampa plant can produce up to a total of 180,000 shafts. Because of equipment differences at each of the plants and differing labor costs, the per-unit production costs vary as shown here:
San Diego Cost Tampa Cost Regular shaft $5.25 $4.95 Stiff shaft $5.45 $5.70 a. Formulate a linear programming model to determine how GSI should schedule production for the new order in order to minimize the total production cost. b. Solve the model that you developed in part (a). c. Suppose that some of the previous orders at the Tampa plant could be rescheduled in order to free up additional capacity for the new order. Would this option be worthwhile? Explain d. Suppose that the cost to produce a stiff shaft in Tampa had been incorrectly computed and that the correct cost is $5.30 per shaft. What effect if any would this change have on the optimal solution developed in part (B)? What effect would it have on total production cost? |

A biologist needs at least 40 fish for her experiment. She cannot use more than25 perch or more than 30 bass. Each perch costs $5, and each bass costs $3. HOw many of each fish should she use in order to minimixe the cost? Pleez help I have no idea what to do.
