Question

the output of pipe: extrusion hours, packaging hours 12. The Stratton Company produces two basic types of plastic pipe Three resources are crucial to the output of data expressed in units of 100 feet of pipe are provided (12 points) and a special additive to the plastic raw material. The Type 2 urce Availability Resource 4 hr 18 hr 2 hr 1 Ib 16 lb tive mb The contribution to profits and overhead per 100 feet of pipe is $ 34 for Type 1 and S 40 for Type 2 Formulate the above as linear programming model (objective function and constraints) 0

Explanation / Answer

Let us consider Type 1 Pipe is x and Type 2 Pipe is y.

Objective function = To maximise profit.

Z (Max) = 34x+40y

subject to constraint.

4x+6y=<48

2x+2y=<18

2x+y=<16

x,y=>0
