Summary Introduction

To explain: A linear programming that has feasible region with infinite number of solutions.

Introduction:

Linear programming:

It is a linear optimization technique followed to develop a best outcome for the problem in hand. The outcome might be of maximum profit or less cost which are represented by a linear relationship. The outcome will take into consideration the constraints present in achieving the solution.

Feasible region:

A feasible region is a solution space which contains all the possible points of an optimization problem. The region will be formed after satisfying the constraints in the problem which includes inequalities, integer constraints and inequalities. It is the area that is bounded by the constraints of the problem.

The forecast for each week of a four-week schedule is 50 units. The MPS rule is to schedule production if the projected on-hand Inventory would be negative without it. Customer orders (committed) are follows: Week Customer Order 1 52 35 20 12 Use a production lot size of 75 units and no beginning Inventory. Determine the available-to-promise (ATP) quantities for each period. Note: Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Period ATP 1 2 3
Prepare a master schedule given this information: The forecast for each week of an eight-week schedule is 60 units. The MPS rule is to schedule production if the projected on-hand Inventory would be negative without it. Customer orders (committed) are as follows: Week Customer Orders 1 2 36 28 4 1 Use a production lot size of 85 units and no beginning inventory. Note: In the ATP row, enter a value of 0 (zero) in any periods where ATP should not be calculated. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.
