Sam is a new Nurse Practitioner (NP) in an independent physician-owned primary care office located in a small community. He loves working with the patients and gets along very well with his coworkers. Normally, Sam will see a patient on his own, or with a female nurse, if the patient is female. However, Sam recently noticed that his time with a patient was coded and billed to Medicare as one of the physician’s time. He recalled the legal course in nursing school about Medicare and knew that NP’s time is reimbursed at 80% of the actual charge or at 85% of the physician’s fee schedule amount, whichever is the lesser.

A linear programming computer package is needed. Epsilon Airlines services predominately the eastern and southeastern United States. A vast majority of Epsilon's customers make reservations through Epsilon's website, but a small percentage of customers make reservations via phone. Epsilon employs call-center personnel to handle these reservations along with any problems with the website reservation system and for the rebooking of flights for customers if their plans change or their travel is disrupted. Staffing the call center appropriately is a challenge for Epsilon's management team. Having too many employees on hand is a waste of money, but having too few results in very poor customer service and the potential loss of customers. Epsilon analysts have estimated the minimum number of call-center employees needed by day of week for the upcoming vacation season (June, July, and the first two weeks of August). These estimates are given in the following table. Day Monday Tuesday Wednesday…
