A company manufactures its product in three plants A, B, and C and transports its product to four warehouses, where the product is repackaged to carry a differnt "designer" label. The production capacity in plant A is 200 units and the unit production cost is $5, in plant B 300 units and a cost of $6 per unit, and in plant C 100 units at a cost of $3 per unit. Each warehouse requires 100 units of the product. The shipping costs and repackaging costs (per unit) are given in the table below: warehouse 1 warehouse 2 warehouse 3 warehouse 4 Shipping cost from A 10 20 15 25 Shipping cost from B 5 15 10 20 Shipping cost from C 12 7 4 10 Repackaging cost at the warehouse 2 5 3 4 Formulate a Balanced Transportation Problem to minimize the total cost of meeting all demands. Give your formulation in terms of a cost and requirement table.

A company ships products from four factories to four warehouses. The factory capacities, warehouse requirements, and per-unit shipping costs are shown below: FACTORY WAREHOUSE MONTHLY FACTORY CAPACITY (UNITS) 1 2 3 4 A $11 $16 $9 $6 B 12 10 7 10 C 19 16 15 21 D 7 6 4 9 MONTHLY WAREHOUSE MIN. CAPACITY (UNITS) 1 2 3 4 3,000 8,000 12,000 5,000 How many products should the company ship from each factory to each warehouse to minimize monthly shipping costs? (Use the minimum cost method to find an initial feasible solution and the transportation simplex method to find an optimal solution.) From Factory A to Warehouse 1 = From Factory A to Warehouse 2 = From Factory A to Warehouse 3 = From Factory A to Warehouse 4 = From Factory B to Warehouse 1 = From Factory B to Warehouse 2 = From Factory B to Warehouse 3 = From Factory B to Warehouse 4 = From Factory C to Warehouse 1 = From Factory C to Warehouse 2 = From Factory C to Warehouse 3 = From Factory C to Warehouse 4 = From Factory D to Warehouse 1 = From Factory D to Warehouse 2 = From Factory D to Warehouse 3 = From Factory D to Warehouse 4 =

A pharmacist wants to establish an optimal inventory policy for a new antibiotic that requires refrigeration in storage. The pharmacist expects to sell 7200 packages of this antibiotic at a steady rate during the next year. She plans to place several orders of the same size spaced equally throughout the year. The ordering cost for each delivery is $18 and carrying costs, based on the average number of packages in inventory, amount to $8 per year for one package. (a) Let x be the order quantity and r the number of orders placed during the year. Find the inventory cost (ordering cost plus carrying cost) in terms of x and r. C = (b) Find the Constraint Function rx = (c) Determine the economic order quantity that minimizes the inventory cost and then find the minimum inventory cost. x = C = $

00:01 Hello, let's have a look at the question.
00:02 So here, the total cost of shipping the product from plant i to the warehouse j is equals to the transportation cost plus the repackaging cost and plus the unit product cost.
00:42 For a balanced transportation problem, we will add a dummy warehouse also.
00:55 So the final balanced table of transportation problem will be having warehouse 1, warehouse 2, then we have warehouse 3, 4 and 5.
01:09 Here then we have the supply or we can say capacity.
01:13 Now here we have the shipping cost from a, from b and from c and here we have at last the demand.
01:27 So warehouse 1 is 10 plus 2 plus 5.
01:32 So this is here x11 equals to 17.
01:37 Then for warehouse 2 we have 30 that is x12.
01:42 Then 3 we have 23 that is x13 and w4 is 34 that is x14 and this is 0 that is x1 5 and the total capacity is 200 here now here for from b we have 5 plus 2 plus 6 that is x21 is equals to here 13 then here we have x 2 2 26 then x23 is equals to 19 then x 24 is equals to 35 and this is 0 and the supply here is 300.
02:27 Now for c we have here 12 plus 2 plus 3 that is 17 that is x 31.
02:36 Then we have x 3 2 which is 23...
