Summary Introduction
To explain: The necessity to add nonnegativity constraints to an optimization model.
Linear programming:
It is a mathematical modeling procedure where a linear function is maximized or minimized subject to certain constraints. This method is widely useful in making a quantitative analysis which is essential for making important business decisions.

- A manufacturer has the capability to produce both chairs and tables. Both products use the same materials (wood, nails and paint) and both have a setup cost ($100 for chairs, $200 for tables). The firm earns a profit of $20 per chair and $65 per table and can sell as many of each as it can produce. The daily supply of wood, nails and paint is limited. To manage the decision-making process, an analyst has formulated the following linear programming model:Max 20x1 + 65x2 – 100y1 – 200y2s.t. 5x1 + 10x2 ≤ 100 {Constraint 1}20x1 + 50x2 ≤ 250 {Constraint 2}1x1 + 1.5x2 ≤ 10 {Constraint 3}My1 ≥ x1 {Constraint 4}My2 ≥ x2 {Constraint 5}yi={1, if product j is produced0, otherwiseyi=1, if product j is produced0, otherwiseWhich of the constraints limit the amount of raw materials that can be consumed?

- Apply Linear Programming to the Folling Question: Dan Reid, chief engineer at New Hampshire Chemical, Inc., has to decide whether to build a new state-of-art processing facility. If the new facility works, the company could realize a profit of $200,000. If it fails, New Hampshire Chemical could lose $150,000. At this time, Reid estimates a 60% chance that the new process will fail. The other option is to build a pilot plant and then decide whether to build a complete facility. The pilot plant would cost $10,000 to build. Reid estimates a fifty-fifty chance that the pilot plant will work. If the pilot plant works, there is a 90% probability that the complete plant, if it is built, will also work. If the pilot plant does not work, there is only a 20% chance that the complete project (if it is constructed) will work. Reid faces a dilemma. Should he build the plant? Should he build the pilot project and then make a decision? Help Reid by analyzing this problemarrow_forwardWhich of the following is true? a)The maximin criterion is an approach in Optimization under uncertainty which finds a solution that has the best possible payoff. b)The maximin criterion is an approach in Optimization under uncertainty which finds a solution with the best worst possible payoff. c)A risk profile represents the probability distribution of uncertain inputs. d)Decision tree is a method to solve any optimization problem when the outcomes are subject to uncertainty.arrow_forwardFor the remaining questions, consider the following problem description: An oil company is considering exploring new well sites S₁, S2, ..., S10 with respective costs C1, C2, C10. And in particular they want to find the least-cost selection of 5 out of the 10 possible sites. The binary decision variables x₁,x2,..., X10 denote the decision to explore the corresponding site.arrow_forward

Heat from the first turbine’s exhaust is captured to heat waterand produce steam sent to a second steam turbine that generates additional electricity. A 968-megawatt combined-cycle gas fired plant can be purchased for $450 million, has no salvage value, and produces a net cash flow(revenues less expenses) of $50 million per year over its expected 30-year life.
