Quantitative Decision Making Models Assignment # 2 QUESTION ONE Decision Variables Let, * X1 = number of full-time tellers * Y1 = number of part-time tellers starting at 9 a.

m. (leaving at 1 p. m. ) * Y2 = number of part-time tellers starting at 10 a.

m. (leaving at 2 p. m. ) * Y3 = numbers of part-time tellers starting at 11 a. m. (leaving at 3 p.

m. ) * Y4 = number of part-time tellers starting at noon ( leaving at 4 p. m. ) * Y5 = number of part-time tellers starting at 1 p. m.

(leaving at 5 p. m. ) Objective Function * MIN 90X1 + 28(Y1 + Y2 + Y3 + Y4 + Y5) Contraints * X1 + Y1 ? 0 (9am-10am) * 0. 5X1 + Y1 + Y2 ? 12 (10am – 11am) * 0. 5X1 + Y1 + Y2 + Y3 ? 14 (11am – noon) * X1 + Y1 + Y2 +Y3 + Y4 ? 16 (noon – 1pm) * X1 + Y1 + Y2 + Y3 + Y4 + Y5 ? 18 (1pm - 2pm) * X1 + Y3 + Y4 + Y5 ? 17 (2pm – 3pm) * X1 + Y4 + Y5 ? 15 (3pm – 4pm) * X1 + Y5 ? 10 (4pm – 5pm) * X <12 * X1, Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5 ? 0 Part-time workers cannot work more than 50% of the total hours required each day. Therefore, 4(Y1+Y2+Y3+Y4+Y5) ? 0.

50(10+12+14+16+18+17+15+10) Optimal Solution * X1 = 10 * Y1 = 0 * Y2 = 7 * Y3 = 2 * Y4 = 5 * Y5 = 0Optimal Value $ 1,292 is the optimal value to minimize the total cost of employees working. QUESTION TWO A) Decision Variables Let, * O1 = percentage of Oak cabinets assigned to cabinetmaker 1 * O2 = percentage of Oak cabinets assigned to cabinetmaker 2 * O3 = percentage of Oak cabinets assigned to cabinetmaker 3 * C1 = percentage of Cherry cabinets assigned to cabinetmaker 1 * C2 = percentage of Cherry cabinets assigned to cabinetmaker 2 * C3 = percentage of Cherry cabinets assigned to cabinetmaker 3 Objective Function * Min 1800O1 + 1764O2 + 1650O3 + 2160C1 + 2016C2 + 1925C3 Contraints 50O1 + 60C1 ? 40 * 42O2 + 48C2? 30 * 30)3 + 35C3? 35 * O1 + O2 + O3=1 * C1 + C2 + C3=1 * O1, O2, O3, C1, C2, C3? 0 B) | Cabinet Maker 1| Cabinet Maker 2| Cabinet Maker 3| Oak| 0. 271| 0| 0. 729| Cherry| 0| 0.

625| 0. 375| Therefore, to complete both projects is assigning 27. 1% of the oak cabinets to Cabinet Maker 1 and 72. 9% to Cabinet Maker 2. For the Cherry, 62.

5% should be assigned to Cabinet Maker 2 and 37. 5% to Cabinet Maker 3. Total cost of completing both projects = $ 3672. 500 C) Cabinetmaker 1 has a slack of 26. 458 hours and a dual price of 0.

This increases the right hand side of constraint 1 will not change the value of the optimal solution. D) The dual price for constraint 2 is 1. 75. The current Right-Hand-Side is 30 and allowable increase is 11. 143. The upper limit on Right-Hand-Side range is 41.

143. This means for each extra hour of time for Cabinet Maker 2, the total cost will decrease by $1. 75/hour, to a maximum of 41. 143 hours. E) If cabinetmaker 2 reduces his cost to $38 per hour, the new objective function coefficients for O2 and C2 would be: 42(38) = 1596 and 48(38) = 1824. The optimal solution does not change but the total cost decreases to $3552.

2(0. 145) + 0. 3(0. 145) + 0(0. 3) R = 0. 3997 Therefore the optimal allocation for this scenario is as follows; S = 40.

%, B = 14. 5%, M = 14. 5%, C = 30% which will create the optimal amount of risk, 0. 3997, or 0. 4 rounded. AR = 0.

1S + 0. 03B + 0. 04M + 0. 01C AR = 0. 1(0.

409) + 0. 03(0. 145) + 0. 04(0.
