The Clark County Sheriff's Department schedules police officers for 8-hour shifts. The beginning times for the shifts are 8:00 a.m., noon, 4:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m., midnight, and 4:00 a.m. An officer beginning a shift at one of these times works for the next 8 hours. During
normal weekday operations, the number of officers needed varies depending on the time of day. The department staffing guidelines require the following minimum number of officers on duty:

The plant was located in an industrial area that had several pipelines in the general geographic area including a crude oil pipeline leading to a refinery, and a pipeline carrying pesticides to be processed and redistributed to local farms in the area. In July 2014, Ajay Patel, the logistics general manager received notification that there were some minor leaks along the pipeline that were being fixed. Workers in the area had experienced sudden headaches and lightheadedness and the company immediately moved to investigate the leak and address faulty seams that had eroded and weakened. The flow of naphtha was temporarily stopped for 72 hours so two portions of the pipeline could be removed, and the eroded portions replaced.

An electrical engineering company is designing two types of solar panel systems: Standard Panels (S) and High-Efficiency Panels (H). The company has certain constraints regarding the hours of labor and material available for production each week. Each Standard Panel requires 4 hours of labor and 2 units of material and each High-Efficiency Panel requires 3 hours of labor and 5 units of material. The company has a maximum of 60 hours of labor and 40 units of material available per week. The profit from each Standard Panel is GH¢80, and the profit from each High-Efficiency Panel is GH¢100. The company wants to determine how many of each type of panel to produce in order to maximize profit. i) Solve this LPP by using graphical analysis ii) What will be the slack at the optimal solution point?
