Tutorial 1

The document contains 3 examples of linear programming problems (LPP). 1) A manufacturing unit must produce at least 20 units of product A and at least 15 combined units of products B and C, maximizing total profit within an assembly time constraint of 100 hours. 2) A tape recorder company must produce specified weekly amounts of 3 products, maximizing total profit within manufacturing, assembly, and packaging time constraints for each product. 3) A research lab must use available amounts of 3 metals to make a new alloy requiring at least specified amounts of each metal, minimizing total cost.

152005 : Quantitative Techniques in Management Tutorial 1: LPP Formulation

(1) A manufacturing unit produces A,B and C products and production of each product is 50, 25 and 30 units respectively. Assembly department of 100 hrs are available daily. Type of product A B C Profit/unit 12 20 25 Assembly time/unit (hrs) 0.8 1.7 2.5

The daily order commitment is 20 for A and 15 for combined B & C. Formulate the LPP for maximization of profit. (2) A tape recorder company produces models A, B and C and profit/unit of each model is Rs. 15, Rs. 40 and Rs. 60 respectively. Weekly production requirement is 250, 130 and 55 respectively. Each type required certain amount of time for manufacturing, assembly and packaging to each dozen of product. Manufacturing (Hrs) 4 2.5 6

Product A B C

Assembly (Hrs) 3 4 9

Packaging(Hrs) 1 2 4

Formulate the LPP for maximization of profit. (3) Research lab has two melts of metal A and B of copper, Zinc and Nickel for making new alloy. The part wise distribution is given in the following table: Product A B Cu 3 2 Ni 2 2 Zn 1 2

To make the new alloy at least 15 kg of Cu, 10 kg of Ni and 6 kg of Zn is needed. The cost per kg for alloy A and alloy B is Rs. 45 and Rs. 50 respectively. Formulate the LPP for minimization of cost.
