    Practice Problem for OPERATIONS RESEARCH

    By: Engr. Ryan Jeffrey P. Curbano

    LINEAR PROGRAMMING

    1. Solve using graphical method

    Answer: X = 3; Y =5, Z = 59

    2. Solve using graphical method

    Answer: X = 6, Y = 3, Z = 48

    3. Muir Manufacturing produces two popular grades of commercial carpeting among its many other products. In
    the coming production period, Muir needs to decide how many rolls of each grade should be produced in order
    to maximize profit. Each roll of Grade X carpet uses 50 units of synthetic fiber requires 25 hours of production
    time, and needs 20 units of foam backing. Each roll of Grade Y carpet uses 40 units of synthetic fiber requires 28
    hours of production time, and needs 15 units of foam backing. The profit per roll of Grade X carpet is $200 and
    the profit per roll of Grade Y carpet is $160. In the coming production period, Muir has 3000 units of synthetic
    fiber available for use. Workers have been scheduled to provide at least 1800 hours of production time
    (overtime is a possibility). The company has 1500 units of foam backing available for use. Develop and solve a
    linear programming model for this problem. Solve using Simplex Method
    Note: Let X = the number of rolls of Grade X carpet to make
    Let Y = the number of rolls of Grade Y carpet to make

    Answer: X = 30, Y = 37.5, Z = 12000


    Solve the range of optimality, range of feasibility, range of insignificance and dual value form
    4. The decision variables represent the amounts of ingredients 1, 2, and 3 to put into a blend. The
    objective function represents profit. The first three constraints measure the usage and availability of
    resources A, B, and C. The fourth constraint is a minimum requirement for ingredient 3. Use the output
    to answer these questions.
    a. How much of ingredient 1 will be put into the blend?
    b. How much of ingredient 2 will be put into the blend?
    c. How much of ingredient 3 will be put into the blend?
    d. How much resource A is used?
    e. How much resource B will be left unused?
    f. What will the profit be?
    g. What will happen to the solution if the profit from ingredient 2 drops to 4?
    h. What will happen to the solution if the profit from ingredient 3 increases by 1?
    i. What will happen to the solution if the amount of resource C increases by 2?
    j. What will happen to the solution if the minimum requirement for ingredient 3 increases to 15?
    5. The LP model and LINDO output represent a problem whose solution will tell a specialty retailer how
    many of four different styles of umbrellas to stock in order to maximize profit. It is assumed that every
    one stocked will be sold. The variables measure the number of women's, golf, men's, and folding
    umbrellas, respectively. The constraints measure storage space in units, special display racks,
    demand, and a marketing restriction, respectively.
