LP Model: Variables Objective: 8-3: Restaurant work scheduling problem The famous Y. S. Chang Restaurant is open 24 hours a day. Waiters and busboys report for duty at 3 a.m., 7 a.m., 11 a.m., 3p.m., 7 p.m., or 11 p.m., and each works an 8-hour shift. The table below shows the minimum number of workers needed during the six periods into which the day is divided. Chang's scheduling problem is to determine how many waiters and busboys should report for work at the start of each time period to minimize the total staff required for one day's operation. (Hint: Let X equal the number of waiters and busboys beginning work in time period i, where i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. A) Create the LP model for this problem in the textbox to the right.
