Question:

On an average 96 patients per 24-hour a day require the services of an emergency clinic. Also on an average, a patient requires 10 minutes of active attention. Assume that the facility can handle only one emergency at a time. Suppose that it costs the clinic ₹ 100 per patient treated to obtain an average servicing time of 10 minutes, and that each minute of decrease in this average time would cost ₹ 10 per patient treated. How much would have to budgetted by the clinic to decrease the average size of the queue from 1x1/3 patients to 1/2 a patient?

Question:

 

 A manufacturing company needs 2500 units of a particular item every year. The company buys it at the rate of ₹ 30 per unit. The order processing cost for this item is estimated at ₹ 15 and the cost of carrying a item in stock comes to about ₹ 4 per year. The company can manufacture this item internally. In that case it saves 20% of the price of the product. However, it estimates a set-up cost of ₹ 250 per production run. The annual production rate would be 4800 units. However, the inventory holding costs remain unchanged.

Question:

A firm produces there product A, B and C. It uses two types of raw materials I and II of which 5000 and 7500 units respectively are available. The raw material requirements per unit of the products are given below:

Raw Material Requirement per unit of product
A B C
I 3 4 5
II 5 3 5

 

The minimum demand of the three products is 600, 650 and 500 units respectively. Assuming the profits per unit of A, B and C as ₹ 50, ₹50 and ₹80 respectively. Formulate the problem as LPP model in order to determine the number of units of each product which will maximize the profit.
