Theprimary objective of the mill is to provide the farmers with a place to take their crop forprocessing that will reduce their transportation costs. The members of the co-op believe thatthe center-of-gravity method is appropriate for this objective. While there are over 200 sugarcane farms in the region, they are tightly clustered around six villages. Using the data below,use the center-of-gravity method to calculate the coordinates of the best location for this mill.All mileage references use Browns Town as (0,0).VillageMiles East ofBrowns TownMiles North ofBrowns TownSugar CanetonnageBarney Valley 90 10 240,000Blue Pasture 140 60 320,000Congo Valley 20 70 450,000Bower 50 20 120,000Rabacca 100 80 60,000Salem 10 120 140,000The Rae Mischel Company expanded its shipping capacity and the additional cost of doing this from each warehouse to terminal is highlighted in the following table. Determine theminimum cost to ship from each warehouse to terminal.
- Suppliers A, B, and C supply components to three plants -- F, G, and H via two transshipment facilities -- T1 and T2. It costs $4 to ship from T1 regardless of final destination and $3 to ship to T2 regardless of supplier. Shipping to T1 from A, B, and C costs $3, $4, and $5, respectively, and shipping from T2 to F, G, and H costs $10, $9, and $8, respectively. Suppliers A, B, and C can provide 200, 300 and 500 units respectively and plants F, G, and H need 350, 450, and 200 units respectively. The Logistics Manager has come to you for help.

His passengers include hunters, fishermen, backpackers and campers, and tradespeople hired for jobs in the different localities. He also carries some cargo for delivery. The following network shows the possible air routes between various towns and cities John might take (with the times, in hours). For safety reasons, he flies point-to-point, flying over at least one town along a route, even though he might not land there. In the upcoming week John has scheduled charter flights for Kotzebue, Nome, and Stebbins. Determine the shortest route between John’s home base in Anchorage and each of these destinations.Can i get help with those questions please and thank you
- Use the table below to answer the following question(s). The Riviera Transport Company (RTC) produces car accessories at two plants: Dallas and Atlanta. They ship them to major distribution centers in Houston, San Jose, Jacksonville, and Memphis. The accounting, production, and marketing departments have provided the information in the table below, which shows the unit cost of shipping between any plant and distribution center, plant capacities over the next planning period, and distribution center demands. RTC's supply chain manager faces the problem of determining how much to ship between each plant and distribution center to minimize the total transportation cost, not exceed available capacity, and meet customer demand. Assume Xij = amount shipped from plant i to distribution center j, where i = 1 represents Dallas, i = 2 represents Atlanta, j = 1 represents Houston, and so on.
