Question
Chapter B, Problem 5DQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The circumstances under which the object function is more important than the constraints in the linear programming problem.
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.
Objective function:
It is a linear function representing a cost, profit or some other quantity. The motive of the objective function is to maximize or minimize a quantity taking the constraints into consideration.
Constraints:
The constraints are the limitation for a situation within which the process must operate. The constraints are the limits within which the available resources can be utilized so as to maximize or minimize a quantity.

The Kolkmeyer Manufacturing Company uses a group of six identical machines, each of which operates an average of 23 hours between breakdowns. With randomly occurring breakdowns, the Poisson probability distribution is used to describe the machine breakdown arrival process. One person from the maintenance department provides the single-server repair service for the six machines. Management is now considering adding two machines to its manufacturing operation. This addition will bring the number of machines to eight. The president of Kolkmeyer asked for a study of the need to add a second employee to the repair operation. The service rate for each individual assigned to the repair operation is 0.40 machines per hour. (a) Compute the operating characteristics if the company retains the single-employee repair operation.

Although Burger Dome would like to serve each customer immediately, at times more customers arrive than can be handled by the Burger Dome food service staff. Thus, customers wait in line to place and receive their orders. Burger Dome analyzed data on customer arrivals and concluded that the arrival rate is 40 customers per hour. Burger Dome also studied the order-filling process and found that a single employee can process an average of 56 customer orders per hour. Burger Dome is concerned that the methods currently used to serve customers are resulting in excessive waiting times and a possible loss of sales. Management wants to conduct a waiting line study to help determine the best approach to reduce waiting times and improve service. Suppose Burger Dome establishes two servers but arranges the restaurant layout so that an…arrow_forward
