Explanation of Solution

Calculating the extra payment:

  • Let x1 be the number of pairs of shoes that were produced during the month “t” with non-overtime labor, ot be the number of pairs of shoes that were produced during month “t” with the overtime labor, it be the inventory of shoes at the end of month “t”, ht is the number of workers that were hired at the beginning of month “t”, ft be the number of workers who were fired at the beginning of month “t” and wt be the number of workers who were available for month “t”.
  • For the objective function, the following cost must be considered as worker’s salaries, hiring costs, firing costs, holding costs, overtime costs and raw-material costs.
  • Hence, the derived objective function is:
  • min z= 1500wt+1600ht+2000ft+30it+25×4ot+5(xt+ot)
  • min z= 1500wt+1600ht+2000ft+30it+105ot+5xt
  • for t=1,2,3,4.
  • The constraints are described where the first constraint for inventory is,
    • i1=50+x1+o1300
    • x1+o1i1=250
  • For the second month,
    • i2=i1+x2+o2500
    • i1+x2+o2i2=500
  • In the same way, for next two months,
    • x3+o3+i2i3=100
    • x4+o4+i3i4=100
  • The second constraint for relation available workers to hiring and firing the workers, for the first month,
    • w1=3+h1f1
    • w1+fh1=3
  • For the second month,
    • w2=w1+h2f2
    • w2+f2w1h2=0
  • In the same way, for next two months,
    • w3+f3w2h3=0
    • w4+f4w3h4=0
  • The third constraint for each month, the amount of shoes made with non-overtime labors is limited by the number of workers, here for the first month,
    • 4x1160w1
    • 4x1160w10
  • In the same way, for next three months,
    • 4x2160w20
    • 4x3160w30
    • 4x4160w40
  • The fourth constraint for each month, the amount of shoes made with overtime labor is limited by the number of workers, for the first month,
    • 4o120w1
    • 4o120w10
  • In the same way, for next three months,
    • 4o220w20
    • 4o320w30
    • 4o420w40
  • Hence, the obtained Linear Programming
  • min z= 1500wt+1600ht+2000ft+30it+105ot+5xt
  • for t=1,2,3,4.
  • Subjected to,
    • x1+o1i1=250
    • i1+x2+o2i2=500
    • x3+o3+i2i3=100
    • x4+o4+i3i4=100
    • w1+fh1=3
    • w2+f2w1h2=0
    • w3+f3w2h3=0
    • w4+f4w3h4=0
    • 4x1160w10
    • 4x2160w20
    • 4x3160w30
    • 4x4160w40
    • 4o120w10
    • 4o220w20
    • 4o320w30
    • 4o420w40
  • The following is the LINDO output for this Linear Programming:
  • min z=

The assignment here is to write an app using a database named CIT321 with a collection named students; we will provide a CSV file of the data. You need to use Vue.js to display 2 pages. You should know that this assignment is similar, all too similar in fact, to the cars4sale2 example in the lecture notes for Vue.js 2. You should study that program first. If you figure out cars4sale2, then program 6 will be extremely straightforward. It is not my intent do drop a ton of new material here in the last few days of class. The database contains 51 documents. The first rows of the CSV file look like this: sid last_name 1 Astaire first_name Humphrey CIT major hrs_attempted gpa_points 10 34 2 Bacall Katharine EET 40 128 3 Bergman Bette EET 42 97 4 Bogart Cary CIT 11 33 5 Brando James WEB 59 183 6 Cagney Marlon CIT 13 40 GPA is calculated as gpa_points divided by hrs_attempted.
