9.1-1. The Childfair Company has three plants producing child push chairs that are to be shipped to four distribution centers. Plants 1, 2, and 3 produce 12, 17, and 11 shipments per month, respectively. Each distribution center needs to receive 10 shipments per month. The distance from each plant to the respective distributing centers is given below: Distance Distribution Center 1 2 3 4 1 800 miles Plant 2 1,100 miles 3 1,300 miles 400 miles 700 miles 1,400 miles 600 miles 1,000 miles 600 miles 1,200 miles 800 miles 900 miles The freight cost for each shipment is $100 plus 50 cents per mile. How much should be shipped from each plant to each of the distribution centers to minimize the total shipping cost? (a) Formulate this problem as a transportation problem by constructing the appropriate parameter table. (b) Draw the network representation of this problem. c (c)Obtain an optimal solution.

The Lawson Fabric Mill Produces five different fabrics. Each fabric can be woven on one or more of the mill’s 36 looms. The sales department’s forecast of demand for the next month is shown in below Table 1, along with data on the selling price per yard, variable cost per yard, and purchase price per yard. The mill operates 24 hours a day and is scheduled for 30 days during the coming month. The mill has two types of looms: draw and regular. The draw looms are more versatile and can be used for all five fabrics. The regular looms can produce only three of the fabrics. The mill has a total of 36 looms: 8 are draw and 28 are regular. The rate of production for each fabric on each type of loom is given in below Table 2. The time required to change over from producing one fabric to another is negligible and does not have to be considered. The Lawson Fabric Mill satisfies all demand with either its own fabric or fabric purchased from another mill. Fabrics that cannot be woven at the…
STAR Co. provides paper to smaller companies with volumes that are not large enough to warrant dealing directly with the paper mill. STAR receives 100-feet-wide paper rolls from the mill and cuts the rolls into smaller rolls of widths 12, 15, and 30 feet. The demands for these widths vary from week to week. The following cutting patterns have been established. Min s.t. 12-ft Pattern Number 15-ft 30-ft 1 2 P1, P2, P3 P4 P5 ≥ 0 3 4 5 12-ft 15-ft 30-ft Trim Loss (ft) 0 0 8 3 7 6 0 0 0 1 C 3 0 2 0 10 Trim loss is the leftover paper from a pattern (e.g., for pattern 4, 3(12) + 0(15) + 2(30) = 96 feet used results in 100 - 96 = 4 foot of trim loss). Orders in hand for the coming week are 5,680 12- foot rolls, 1,690 15-foot rolls, and 3,360 30-foot rolls. Any of the three types of rolls produced in excess of the orders in hand will be sold on the open market at the selling price. No inventory is held. 10 Formulate an integer programming model that will determine how many 100-foot rolls to cut…

Cars are shipped from three distribution centers to five dealers. The shipping cost is based on the mileage between the sources and the destinations and is independent of whether the truck makes the trip with partial or full loads. Following table summarizes the mileage between the distribution centers and the dealers together with the monthly supply and demand figures given in number of cars. A full truckload includes 18 cars. The transportation cost per truck mile is $25. a. Formulate the associated transportation model. b. Determine the optimal shipping schedule.
