The MNO Claim Company processes insurance claims for large
national insurance companies. Most claim processing is done by a
large pool of computer operators, some of whom are permanent and
some of whom are temporary. A permanent operator can process 21
claims per day, whereas a temporary operator can process 18 per
day, and on average the company processes at least 1260 claims each
day. The company has 35 computer workstations. A permanent operator
generates about 1.4 claim with errors each day, whereas a temporary
operator averages about 0.5 defective claims per day. The company
wants to limit claims with errors to 36 per day. A permanent
operator is paid $64 per day, and a temporary operator is paid $42
per day. The company wants to determine the number of permanent and
temporary operators to hire to minimize costs. [Note: X1 = number
of permanent operators. X2 = number of temporary operators.]
One of the constraints for the model is 1.4X1 + 0.5X2 ≤ 36.
