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
When I was assigned the case study analysis of integumentary system patient I had no clue as to where to reach out for help. Luckily I bumped into HwA and was astonished to find that they have specific integumentary system related section.

I was struggling with the deadlines of my assignments and increasingly felt at a loss with my Asian Legal Studies assignments. 24 hours in a day were not enough to do the research and structure the assignment essay. At TheReliableTutor the tutors understand my deadlines and I have never had them delay.

During my final year at my nursing school I was given an assignment on the steps to deal with the issue of ineffective airway clearance of post thyroidectomy patients. Obviously, I did not have much idea but when I approached the endocrine assignment expert here at HwA she guided me with the nursing interventions along with medical rationales which again helped me to gain good grades.

I needed a PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes to be submitted along with the assignment essay for my MBA Marketing class. I was facing a huge time crunch and desperately needed help with making an engaging PowerPoint presentation that would highlight the key aspects of my assignment essay and speaker notes that would help me open up the possibility of direct communication with the audience. When I sent the request to HwA with the requirements they assigned me a PowerPoint presentation expert with years of actual experience in preparing marketing presentations for his job. Needless to say I got an A in my assignment and topped the class.

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
