Conclusion:
To get maximum profits, the company needs to make sandwiches with the
following quantity composition:
1. 1.000 slices of Cheese Sandwich
2. 800 slices of Bologna Sandwich
3. 200 slices of Chicken Salad Sandwich
The profit generated is USD760
Alpujarra Food Services Company delivers fresh sandwiches each morning to vending machines throughout the city. The company makes three kinds of sandwiches— cheese, bologna,
and chicken salad. A cheese sandwich requires a worker 0.45 minutes to assemble, a bologna sandwich requires 0.41 minutes, and a chicken salad sandwich requires 0.50 minutes to
make. The company has 960 available minutes each night for sandwich assembly. Vending machine capacity is available for 2,000 sandwiches each day. The profit for a cheese
sandwich is $0.35, the profit for a bologna sandwich is $0.42, and the profit for a chicken salad sandwich is $0.37. The company knows from past sales records that its customers buy as
many cheese sandwiches as the other two sandwiches combined, if not more so, but customers need a variety of sandwiches available, so Alpujarra stocks at least 200 of each.
Question : Alpujarra management wants to know how many of each sandwich it should stock to maximize profit ? Formulate a linear programming model for this problem.
