Hart Manufacturing makes three products. Each product requires manufacturing operations in three departments: A, B, and C. The labor-hour requirements, by department, are as follows. Department Product 1 Product 2 Product 3 A s.t. B C 1.50 2.00 $ 3990 0.25 3.00 1.00 (P₁, P2, P3) - 60,80,60 = X 0.25 During the next production period, the labor-hours available are 450 in department A, 350 in department B, and 50 in department C. The profit contributions per unit are $26 for product 1, $27 for product 2, and $31 for product 3. 2.00 (a) Formulate a linear programming model for maximizing total profit contribution. (Let P, = units of product i produced, for i = 1, 2, 3.) Max 26P₁ +27P₂+31P 3 2.50 0.25 Department A 1.50P₁ +3.00P2+2.00P3 ≤ 450 Department B 2.00P₁+1.00P₂ +2.50P3 ≤ 350 Department c 0.25P₁ +0.25P₂ +0.25P3 ≤ 50 C P₁ P₂ P320 (b) Solve the linear program formulated in part (a). How much of each product should be produced, and what is the projected total profit contribution (in dollars)? (c) After evaluating the solution obtained in part (b), one of the production supervisors noted that production setup costs had not been taken into account. She noted that setup costs are $410 for product 1, $580 for product 2, and $630 for product 3. If the solution developed in part (b) is to be used, what is the total profit contribution (in dollars) after taking into account the setup costs? with profit $ 1550
(d) Management realized that the optimal product mix, taking setup costs into account, might be different from the one recommended in part (b). Formulate a mixed-integer linear program that takes setup costs into account. Management also stated that we should not consider making more than 150 units of product 1, 160 units of product 2, or 175 units of product 3. (Let P, = units of product i produced and y, be the 0-1 variable that is one if any quantity of product iis produced and zero otherwise, for i = 1, 2, 3.) What is the objective function of the mixed-integer linear program? Max In addition to the constraints from part (a), what other constraints should be added to the mixed-integer linear program? s.t. units of Product 1 produced units of Product 2 produced units of Product 3 produced P₁ P₂ P320; V₁ V2 V3 = 0, 1 (e) Solve the mixed-integer linear program formulated in part (d). How much of each product should be produced, and what is the projected total profit (in dollars) contribution? (P1, P2, P3, V1 V2 V3) = with profit $
