We can list the following important point when we are to formulate any managerial or real life problem:
The steps to model a problem are the following:
Step 1: Determining decision variables and expressing them algebraically. X1,..., Xn
Step 2: Determining Objective Function.
Maximize or minimize Z = C1•X1 + C2•X2 + ... + Cn•Xn
Step 3: Determining the restrictions and expressing them as equations or inequalities in function of the decision variables:
A11•X1 + A12•2 + ... + A1n•Xn (≥, ≤, or =) b1
A21•X1 + A22•X2 + ... + A2n•Xn (≥, ≤, or =) b2
...
Am1•X1 + Am2•X2 + ... + Amn•Xn (≥, ≤, or =) bm
Step 4: Expressing all implicit conditions established by the origin of variables: negativeness, integer, only a few allowed values, ...
X1,..., Xn ≥ 0
X1,..., Xn are integers,
Raja Toys Mfg Ltd manufactures wooden soldiers and trains. Each soldier sells for Rs. 27, uses Rs. 10 of raw materials and takes Rs. 14 of labor & overhead costs. Each train sells for Rs. 21, uses Rs. 9 of raw materials, and takes Rs. 10 of overhead costs.
Each soldier needs 2 hours finishing and 1 hour carpentry; each train needs 1 hour finishing and 1 hour carpentry. Raw materials are unlimited, but only 100 hours of finishing and 80 hours of carpentry are available each week. Demand for trains is unlimited; but at the most 40 soldiers can be sold each week.
How many of each toy should be made each week to maximize profits? Formulate this as an LPP.
