Question 4: The Makonsel company is a fully connected supply chain that produces goods in production centers Atlanta (A) and Birmingham (B) and sells them at its markets or retail outlets in Pittsburgh (P) and Detroit (D). After production, the goods are stored in one of the warehouses in Nashville (N) and Memphis (M) and then they are sent to one of the cities in Indianapolis (1), Columbus (C), or Richmond (R) for final delivery. The possible logistic paths and their travel times (hrs) are listed in the chart below: 6 3 A 3 3 7 B M 9 3 12 R ALISI States, tables anus Trucks with limited transportation capacity of 1000 products are used to transport the goods and the transportation cost is 1 ($/hour per product). The table below shows other costs and capacities. Minimum demand in Detroit and Pittsburgh are 5000 and 4000 accordingly.
