- The Delta company uses three raw materials to make cakes. Delta is trying to reduce warehousing costs and establishes three policies to that end: i) The annual number of orders for all products must be at least 20 per contractual terms with transportation providers. ii) The average inventory in units must be a maximum of 1800. iii) Because the raw material is perishable, there can never be more than 2000 units in inventory of raw material 1. Raw material 2 has a maximum allowed of 1200 units and the raw material 3 can store maximum 400 units.
