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 needed help with my assignment pertaining to cirrhosis of liver and was unable to find any decent help online. Then when I searched and searched, I landed at HwA and was astonished to find that they have a specific hepatic system unit of nursing experts. Was thrilled to find help here and got good grade in that assignment.
Dawn Stevenson Student
Concepts like diffusion between phases often confused me in the past. I used to stumble at each given assignment. However, when I came across HwA, they took time to make me understand and solved all the critical problems, thereby helping me get excellent grades.
Jill Green Student
I wanted to do a dissertation on consumer behaviour but was confused on how to identify a topic and write a report. The dissertation advisors here at TheReliableTutor had an online live session with me and after understanding my requirements they came up with three suggested Research Proposal Writing topics

I was badly stuck with my tax credit assignment solution when I came across HwA. I was happily surprised to see that this website has taxation experts from New Zealand itself and that uplifted my confidence in this. The assignments all got good feedback and now as I am pursuing my PhD also, I seek constant help from them.
Sapphire Barron Student
The online finance fixed income derivatives assignment helper from HwA was very patient with all my questions and did not mind answering my questions at any time of the day relating to the fixed income derivatives assignment help. They also incorporated all the suggestions that were made by me. All in all I was extremely satisfied with the overall experience and the end product. To top it all I topped the class too!

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
