Linear Programming In The Production Of 3 Styles Of Hats
Question
Maxine’s Hat Company produces three distinct hat styles. The operations manager has modeled the operations using linear programming. He is using x1, x2, x3 to represent each hat style.
Below is his formulation:
Maximize Z = 70x1 + 80x2 + 60x3
Subject to:
Machine A: 2x1 + 4x2 + 2x3 ≤ 120 hours
Machine B: 5x1 + 3x2 + 2x3 ≤ 400 hours
Machine C: 2x1 + 2x2 + 4x3 ≤ 110 hours
x1 ≥ 0; x2 ≥ 0; x3 ≥ 0
a. Use Excel to find the optimal solution for this problem. Provide printouts of worksheets for the final solution and the sensitivity report. Then consider the statements below independently, state whether they are true or false and explain each answer.
b. If the price of Hat 3 were to be increased by $55, it would be part of the optimal product mix.
c. The capacity of Machine B can be reduce to 280 hours without affecting profits.
d. If machine C had a capacity of 115 hours, the production output would remain unchanged.
Summary
The question belongs to Operations Management and it discusses about the process of producing 3 styles of hats by machines A, B and C. By using Excel and optimal solution has to be found.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I always wished to be a tax attorney and my dream has come true with the assistance of HwA. After completing my graduation in law I pursued a master degree on taxation. However, I faced severe problems while dealing with the numerical given as assignments. Then one of my friends suggested about this website and I got wonderful response.

Most other online HRM tutoring services I have used were basically one way communication with the tutor simply providing with the cut and dried answers to the questions without really going to the heart of the questions. The online HRM tutor at HwA were different in the sense that they were more focused on helping me actually understand the subject and guiding me to write the HRM assignment and HRM homework rather than providing readymade solutions. Each HRM Online Tutoring session was a two way communication that helped me get even the minutest doubts cleared and understand the underlying concepts of the theories better.

1. I never faced any problem with marketing management or finance. But with operations management, I always suffered. I was unable to under the concepts of the decision tree analysis and the concept of location strategies. When I came across TheReliableTutor.com, I was relieved as they helped me overcome the horrors of operations management and transformed my fear into a genuine interest.

I was not sure on how to go ahead with my peripheral vascular diseases when I came across TheReliableTutor’s cardiovascular assignment help section. I never knew that any website had such specialized department and I was extremely thrilled. The cardiovascular nursing care experts here are very wise and provided adequate solution to the assignment. Later on also, during my course I had great help from them.

The reference material and notes provided by the online electrical engineering tutor assigned to me by HwA was exactly what I was looking for. Keeping up with the course load is difficult enough without having to run from pillar to post searching for research material. The online electrical engineering tutor at HwA made my work much easier by providing me high quality reference material which met the specifications given by my professor.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
