Goal Programming and Denovo Programing Assignments

The document describes two goal programming models: 1) The Growall Fertilizer Company produces three types of fertilizer and has multiple production goals around costs, labor hours, and meeting demand. A goal programming model is needed to determine production levels to satisfy the goals. 2) The East Midvale Textile Company produces denim and brushed cotton cloth. They have production capacity and demand estimates, as well as goals around capacity utilization, overtime limits, and meeting demand weighted by profit. A goal programming model is needed to determine production levels in yards to satisfy the goals.

Goal programming and Denovo Programing assignments

1. The Growall Fertilizer Company produces three types of fertilizer—Supergro,


Dynaplant, and Soilsaver. The company has the capacity to produce a
maximum of 2,000 tons of fertilizer in a week. It costs $800 to produce a ton of
Supergro, $1,500 for Dynaplant, and $500 for Soilsaver. The production
process requires 10 hours of labor for a ton of Supergro, 12 hours for a ton of
Dynaplant, and 18 hours for a ton of Soilsaver. The company has 800 hours of
normal production labor available each week. Each week the company can
expect a demand for 800 tons of Supergro, 900 tons of Dynaplant, and 1,100
tons of Soilsaver. The company has established the following goals, in order of
their priority:

(1)  The company does not want to spend over $20,000 per week on
production, if possible.

(2)  The company would like to limit overtime to 100 hours per week.

(3)  The company wants to meet demand for all three fertilizers; however, it
is twice as important to meet the demand for Supergro as it is to meet the
demand for Dynaplant, and it is twice as important to meet the demand for
Dynaplant as it is to meet the demand for Soilsaver.

(4)  It is desirable to avoid producing undercapacity, if possible.

(5)  Because of union agreements, the company wants to avoid


underutilization of labor.

i. Formulate a goal programming model to determine the number


of tons of each brand of fertilizer to produce to satisfy the goals.

2. The East Midvale Textile Company produces denim and brushed-cotton


cloth. The average pro- duction rate for both types of cloth is 1,000 yards per hour,
and the normal weekly production capacity (running two shifts) is 80 hours. The
marketing department estimates that the maxi- mum weekly demand is for 60,000
yards of denim and 35,000 yards of brushed cotton. The profit is $3.00 per yard
for denim and $2.00 per yard for brushed cotton. The company has es- tablished
the following four goals, listed in order of importance:
1. Eliminate underutilization of production capacity to maintain stable employment
levels.
2. Limit overtime to10 hours.
3. Meet demand for denim and brushed cotton weighted according to profit for each.
4. Minimize overtime as much as possible.
a. Formulate a goal programming model to determine the number of yards (in
1,000-yard lots) to produce to satisfy the goals.Solve this model by using the
computer.
b. Solve this model by using the computer.

Denovo
The MOLP problem is formulated

Max z1 = x1 + x2

Max z2 = x1 + 4x2

S.t

3x1 + 4x2 <= 60

x1 + 3x2 <= 30

x1 >=0, x2>=0

unit price : p=[0.5 0.75]

a) Find the ideal solution


b) Find min Budget to get the ideal solution
c) Find z1,z2,z3 values with original budget .
a) Find the ideal solution
b) Find min Budget to get the ideal solution
c) If given B= $2700, find f1, f2
