Question
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 1.50 3.00 2.00
B 2.00 1.00 2.50
C 0.25 0.25 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 $25 for product 1, $27 for product 2, and $29 for product 3.
(a)
Formulate a linear programming model for maximizing total profit contribution. (Let 
Pi =
 units of product i produced, for 
i = 1, 2, 3.)
Max 
25P1​+27P2​+29P3​
 
 
 
s.t.Department A
1.5P1​+3P2​+2P3​<=450
 
 
 Department B
2P1​+1P2​+2.5P3​<=350
 
 
 Department C
0.25P1​+0.25P2​+0.25P3​<=50
 
 
 
P1, P2, P3 ≥ 0
(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)?
(P1, P2, P3) = 
 
 
60,80,60
 
 
  
 
 with profit $ 
5400
 
 
  .
(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, $540 for product 2, and $650 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?
 
 
 
 
(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 140 units of product 1, 175 units of product 2, or 180 units of product 3. (Let 
Pi =
 units of product i produced and 
yi
 be the 0-1 variable that is one if any quantity of product i is produced and zero otherwise, for 
i = 1, 2, 3.)
What is the objective function of the mixed-integer linear program?
Max 
25P1​+27P2​+29P3​−410y1​−540y2​−650y3​
 
 
 
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
P1​≤140y1​
 
 
 units of Product 2 produced
P2​≤175y2​
 
 
 units of Product 3 produced
P3​≤180y3​
 
 
 
P1, P2, P3 ≥ 0; y1, y2, y3 = 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, y1, y2, y3) = 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 with profit $
