- Problem 4 WORKFORCE SCHEDULING Davis Instruments has two manufacturing plants located in Atlanta, Georgia. Product demand varies considerably from month to month, causing Davis extreme difficulty in workforce scheduling. Recently Davis started hiring temporary workers supplied by WorkForce Unlimited, a company that specializes in providing temporary employees for firms in the greater Atlanta area. WorkForce Unlimited offered to provide temporary employees under three contract options that differ in terms of the length of employment and the cost. The three options are summarized: Option Length of Employment One month $2000 2 Two months S4800 3 Three months $7500 The longer contract periods are more expensive because WorkForce Unlimited experiences greater difficulty finding temporary workers who are willing to commit to longer work assignments. Over the next six months, Davis projects the following needs for additional…arrow_forwardQuestion 27 Finally, passenger rail service comes to Ohio, connecting the six major cities.

- Question Mick Karra is the manager of MCZ Drilling Products, which produces a variety of specialty Valves for oil equipment. Recent activity in the oil fields has caused demand to increase drastically, and a decision has been made to open a new manufacturing facility. Three locations are being considered and the size of the facility would not be the same in each location. Thus, overtime might be necessary at times. The following table gives the total monthly cost (in $1,000s) for each possible location under each demand possibility. The probabilities for the demand levels have been determined to be 20% for low demand, 30% for medium demand, and 50% for high demand.

The profit per night for each type of room and rental class is as follows: Rental Class Room Super Saver Deluxe Business Type I $35$ 37— Type II $24 $34$ 43 Type I rooms do not have wireless Internet access and are not available for the Business rental class. Round Tree's management makes a forecast of the demand by rental class for each night in the future. A linear programming model developed to maximize profit is used to determine how many reservations to accept for each rental class. The demand forecast for a particular night is 120 rentals in the Super Saver class, 65 rentals in the Deluxe class, and 40 rentals in the Business class. Round Tree has 105 Type I rooms and 115 Type II rooms. Use linear programming to determine how many reservations to accept in each rental class and how the reservations should be allocated to room types.…arrow_forward
