_Resdmple 3: (Production allocation problem)
A factory is engaged in manufacturing three products A,B and C
which involve lathe work, grinding and assembling. The cutting, grinding
and assembling times required for one unit of A are 2,1 and 1 hours
repectively. Similarly, they are 3, 1, 3 hours for unit of B and 1,3,1
hours for one unit of C. The profits on A,B and C are Rs. 2, Rs 2 and
Rs. 4 per unit respectively. Assuming that there are available 300 hours of
the lathe time, 300 hours of grinder time and 240 hours of assembly time,
how many units of each product should be produced to maximize profit?
Formulate the problem mathematically. [C.H.1 987,2000;K.H.2002), Example 7: A person requites 10, 12 and 12 units of chemical A,B and
we respectively. A liquid product contains 3, 2 and.J unit of A,B and
C respectively. A dry product contains 1, 2 and 4 units of A,B and ¢
per packet. If the liquid product sells for Rs. 2 per jar and the dry
product sells for Rs 1 per packet, then formulate the problem asa linear
programming problem. {C.H.2005]1
Example 10: Food x contains 6 units of vitamin A per gram and 7
units of vitamin B per gram and cost 12:paise per gram. Food y
contains 8 units of vitamin 4 per gram and 12 units of vitamin B per
gram and cost 20 paise per gram. The daily minimum requirement of
vitamin A and B are 100 units and 120 units respectively. In finding the
minimum cost of product mix, formulate the problem as a linear
programming problem. {C.H.1993,1999;V.H.2006}Example 8: A firm manufactures two lypes of products 4 and B and
sells them at a profit of Rs. 2 on type 4 and Rs. 3 on type B. Each
product is processed on two machines G -and H. Type 4 requires
one minute of processing time on G and two minutes on #7: type B
requires one minute on G and one minute on H. The machine G is
available for not more than 6 hours 40 minutes while machine H is
available for 10 hours during any working day. Formulate the problem
as a linear programming problem. [K.H.1993]*2.9,
|. An individual wishes to invest $5000 over the next year in two
A company produces two products, A and B. The sales volume for A is at least 80% of
the total sales of both A and B. However, the company cannot sell more than 110 units of
A per day. Both products use one raw material, of which the maximum daily availability
is 300 Ib. The usage rates of the raw material are 2 Ib per unit of A, and 4 Ib per unit of B.
‘The profit units for A and B are $40 and $90, respectively. Determine the optimal product
mix for the company.
