Linear Programming: Maximize Profit for Biscuit Manufacturer

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on formulating a linear programming model to maximize profits for a biscuit manufacturer producing three types of gift packs: Assortment A, B, and C, containing Orange Cream (OC), Chocolate Cream (CC), and Wafers (W). The constraints include specific percentages of OC and CC in assortments A and B, with no restrictions for C. The selling prices are Rs200, Rs250, and Rs120 per kg for assortments A, B, and C, respectively, while the manufacturing costs are Rs80, Rs90, and Rs70 per kg for OC, CC, and W. The daily manufacturing capacities are limited to 200 kg for OC and CC, and 150 kg for W.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of linear programming concepts
  • Familiarity with profit maximization techniques
  • Knowledge of constraints and objective functions
  • Basic skills in formulating mathematical models
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to formulate linear programming problems using the Simplex method

Please help:

A manufacturer of biscuits is considering three types of gift packs
containing three types of biscuits, Orange Cream (OC), Chocolate
Cream(CC) and Wafers (W). Market research study conducted recently
shows that three types of assortments A, B and C are in good demand.
Assortment A contains not less than 40% of OC, not more than 20% of CC
and any quantity of W. Assortment B contains not less than 20% of OC,
not more than 40% of CC and any quantity of W. Assortment C has no
restriction. The selling price per kg of assortments A, B and C are
respectively Rs200, Rs 250 and Rs 120. The manufacturing capacity per
day of OC, CC and W respectively 200Kg, 200 kg and 150 kg. The
manufacturing costs per kg of OC, CC and W are respectively Rs 80, Rs
90 and Rs 70. Formulate a linear programming model to find the production
schedule which maximizes the profit.
