A company has three plants that supply the needs of four cities. Each plant can supply the following numbers o
35 million; plant B-50 million; plant C-40 million (see Table below). The demands in these cities are as follows: c
city 2-20 million; city 3-30 million; and city 4-30 million. The costs of sending 1 unit from the plant to the city de
distance that must be travelled and is given below. Formulate an LPP to minimize the cost of meeting each city
the plants' available capacities.

Safety Stock = Service Factor (z) * SD of Monthly demand * SQRT(Lead time in months)
Reorder Point =(Avg Daily Demand x Avg Lead Time in days )+ Safety Stock
EOQ = SQRT(2DO/H) D is Annual Demand Qty
O is Ordering Cost per Unit
H is holding cost per Unit
Min = Avg Daily Demand x Avg LEadTime
Max1 = Min + Min / Ordering Freq)
