Linear Optimization

A company has four distribution centers, located in Atlanta, Lexington, Milwaukee, and Salt Lake City, and ships to 12 retail stores, located in Seattle, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Tucson, Denver, Charlotte, Minneapolis, Fayetteville, Birmingham, Orlando, Cleveland, and Philadelphia. The company wants to minimize the transportation costs of shipping one of its products. The per-unit shipping cost from each distribution center to each retail location and the amounts currently in inventory and ordered at each retail location are shown in the accompanying table.
Develop and solve an optimization model to minimize the total transportation cost and answer parts a and b.

a. What is the minimum cost of shipping?
First, develop a linear optimization model to determine the optimal mix to minimize total cost. Copy the shipping data into Excel. For the purposes of this solution, create an Excel spreadsheet as shown here .2

Next, add cells to function as the variables, in this case, the number of units shipped from each distribution center to each city. The cell B17 references the number of units from Atlanta to Seattle, the cell B18 references the number of units from Atlanta to San Francisco, the cell C17 references the number of units from Lexington to Seattle, and so on. The static value 0 has been entered into these cells as shown here as a starting point.

Note that this table can be created by copying the original table and filling the entries with zeroes.

Next, identify the objective function. In this case, the objective function is the sum of the number of units from each distribution center to each city times their respective costs. While the individual cells and cell ranges can be referred to using cell references or names, for this exercise, use cell references to write the objective function.

Next, write each constraint as a mathematical equation or inequality. In this case, the constraints are the number of units available at each distribution center and the number of units needed in each city.
Write the constraint for the number of units that can be shipped from Atlanta.
Write the constraint for the number of units that can be shipped from Lexington.
Write the constraint for the number of units that can be shipped from Milwaukee.
Write the constraint for the number of units that can be shipped from Salt Lake City.
Write the constraint for the number of units supplied to Seattle.
Write the constraint for the number of units supplied to San Francisco.
Write the constraint for the number of units supplied to Las Vegas.

Electrical Engineering Question

An engineering firm realizes that a new machine will be needed in seven years. The new machine is expected to cost $2,589,000, at current cost, however, the machine is very popular, and supply has been limited, therefore, the price escalates by 5% each year. The firm expects interest rates to be 2.5% for the next seven years with no variation anticipated. The Chief Engineer would like to know how much money the firm would have to accumulate at the end of each year over the next seven years to be able to pay cash for the machine.

Linear Optimization

Mirza Manufacturing makes four electronic products, each of which comprises three main materials: magnet, wire, and casing. The products are shipped to three distribution centers in North America, Europe, and Asia. Marketing has specified that no location should receive more than the maximum demand and that each location should receive at least the minimum demand. The material costs per unit are magnet–$0.61 , wire–$0.31 , and casing–$0.33 . The following tables show all of the production information, including the number of units of each material required in each unit. Develop and solve an appropriate linear optimization model to maximize net profit.

First, develop a linear optimization model to determine the optimal mix to maximize profit. Define variable names to use for the number of units of each product shipped to each distribution center. For the purposes of this solution process, use NAA for units of product A shipped to the North American distribution center, NAB for units of product B shipped to the North American distribution center, EUA for units of product A shipped to the European distribution center, AA for units of product A shipped to the Asian distribution center, and so on.

Next, identify the objective function. In this case, the objective function is the total profit, the total revenue minus all of the costs. Write the objective function.
Profit Total Revenue Total Production Cost Packing and Shipping Costs Material Cost= − − −
Next, write an equation to calculate each term in the objective function. Write the equation for total revenue.Write the equation for total production cost.
Write the equation for packaging and shipping costs.
Write the equation for the material cost. To do so, first find the equations for the total number of materials used. Start with total number of magnets used.
Next, write the equation for the amount of wire used.
Next, write the equation for the amount of casing used.
Write the equation for the material cost.
Material Cost (Magnets used) (Wire used) (Casing used)= 0.61 + 0.31 + 0.33
Next, write each constraint as a mathematical equation or inequality. In this case, the minimum and maximum demand and the available raw material.
Write the constraint for the demand for Product A in North America.
Write the constraint for the demand for Product B in North America.
Write the constraint for the demand for Product A in Europe.
Write the constraint for the demand for Product A in Asia.
