Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

Question

Consider the planning and scheduling problem facing a manufacturer of microwave ovens with two
models in its line- the standard and the deluxe. Each oven is assembled from component parts and
subassemblies that are produced in the mechanical and electronics departments. The following table
shows the number of productionhours per oven in each department and the capacities of the three
production departments, in monthly hours.
Standard (h/oven)
Deluxe (h/oven)
Capacity (h/month)
Assembly Department
Mechanical Department
Electronics Department
The sales department believes that there will be demand for as many ovens as the company can
produce. The accounting department has determined that the profit contribution are $50 for each
standard and $40 for each deluxe. Mathematically formulate the problem as a linear programming
problem.
Solve the linear programming problem geometrically and determine a production plan to maximize
monthly profit contribution.

Workers at a particular mining site receive an average of 35 days paid vacation, which is lower than the national average. The manager of this plant is under pressure from a local union to increase the amount of paid time off. However, he does not want to give more days off to the workers because that would be costly. Instead he decides he should fire 10 employees in such a way as to raise the average number of days off that are reported by his employees. In order to achieve this goal, should he fire employees who have the most number of days off, least number of days off, or those who have about the average number of days off? a. He should fire employees who have the most number of days off. b. No matter who he fires, it will not increase the amount of paid time off. c. He should fire employees who have the average number of days off. d. He should fire employees who have the least number of days off.
