What is the total time required? 10. CarpetPlus sells and installs floor covering for commercial buildings. Brad Sweeney, a CarpetPlus account executive, was just awarded the contract for five jobs. Brad must now assign a CarpetPlus installation crew to each of the five jobs. Because the commission Brad will earn depends on the profit CarpetPlus makes, Brad would like to determine an assignment that will minimize total installation costs. Currently, five installation crews are available for assignment. Each crew is identified by a color code, which aids in tracking of job progress on a large white board. The following table shows the costs (in hundreds of dollars) for each crew to complete each of the five jobs:

15. A market research films three clients each requested that the firm conduct a sample survey. Four available statisticians can be assigned to these three projects; however, all four statisticians are busy, and therefore each can handle only one client.

Show the network representation of this problem. 22. A rental car company has an imbalance of cars at seven of its locations. The following network shows the locations of concern (the nodes) and the cost to move a car between locations. A positive number by a node indicates an excess supply at the node, and a negative number indicates an excess demand.
a. Develop a linear programming model of this problem. b. Solve the model formulated in part (a) to determine how the cars should be redistributed among the locations.

24. In the original Gorman Construction Company problem, we found the shortest distance from the office (node 1) to the construction site located at node 6. Because some of the roads are highways and others are city streets, the shortest-distance routes between the office and the construction site may not necessarily provide the quickest of shortest-time route. Shown here is the Gorman road network with travel time rather than distance. Find the shortest route from Gormans office to the construction site at node 6 if the objective is to minimize travel time rather than distance.

27. City Cab Company identified 10 primary pickup and drop locations for cab riders in New York City. In an effort to minimize travel time and improve customer service and the utilization of the companys fleet of cabs, management would like the cab drivers to take the shortest route between locations whenever possible. Using the following network of roads and streets, what is the route a driver beginning at location 1 should take to reach location 10? The travel times in minutes are shown on the arcs of the network. Note that there are two one-way streets with the direction shown by the arrows.

29. The north-south highway system passing through Albany, New York, can accommodate the capacities shown:

31. A long-distance telephone company uses a fiber-optic network to transmit phone calls and other information between locations. Calls are carried through cable lines and switching nodes. A portion of the companys transmission network is shown here. The numbers above each arc show the capacity in thousands of messages that can be transmitted over that branch of the network.
To keep up with the volume of information transmitted between origin and destination points, use the network to determine the maximum number of messages that may be sent from a city located at node 1 to a city located at node 7.
20
Due to the varying pipe sizes, the flow capacities vary. By selectively opening and closing sections of the pipeline network, the firm can supply any of the storage locations. a. If the firm wants to fully utilize the system capacity to supply storage location 7, how long will it take to satisfy a location 7 demand of 1000,000 gallons? What is the maximal flow for this pipeline system? b. If a break occurs on line 2-3 and it is closed down, what is the maximal flow for the system? How long will it take to transmit 100,000 gallons to location 7? 33. For the following highway network system, determine the maximal flow in vehicles per hour.
The highway commission is considering adding highway section 3-4 to permit a flow of 2000 vehicles per hour or, at an additional cost, a flow of 3000 vehicles per hour. What is your recommendation for the 3-4 arc of the network?

35. Refer to the Contois Carpets problem for which the network representation is shown in Figure 6.20. Suppose that Contois has a beginning inventory of 50 yards of carpet and requires an inventory of 50 yards of carpet and requires an inventory of 100 yards at the end of quarter 4. a. Develop a network representation of this modified problem. b. Develop a linear programming model and solve for optimal solution. 36. Sanders Fishing Supply of Naples, Florida, manufactures a variety of fishing equipment that it sells throughout the United States. For the next three months, Sanders estimates demand for a particular product at 150, 250, and 300 units, respectively. Sanders can supply the demand by producing on regular time or overtime. Because of other commitments and anticipated cost increase in month 3, the production capacities in units and the production costs per unit are as follows:
Inventory may be carried from one month to the next, but the cost is $20 per unit per month. For example, regular production from month 1 used to meet demand in month 2 would cost Sander $50 + $20 = $70 per unit. This same month 1 production used to meet demand in month 3 would cosr Sanders $50 + 2($20) = $90 per unit. a. Develop a network representation of this production scheduling problem as a transportation problem. (Hint: Use six origin nodes; the supply for origin node 1 is the maximum that can be produced in month 1 on regular time, and so on.) b. Develop a linear programming model that can be used to schedule regular and overtime production for each of the three months. c. What is the production schedule, how many units are carried in inventory each month, and what is the total cost? d. Is there any unused production capacity? If so, where?

To answer this question the simplest approach is to increase the Butler County demand to 300 and to increase the supply by 100 at both Southern Gas and Northwest Gas. The new optimal solution is: Amount 300 300 100 300 Cost $ 3000 4500 1200 4500 $13,200
Southern - Hamilton Southern - Clermont Northwest - Hamilton Northwest - Butler Total Cost
From the new solution we see that Tri-County should contract with Southern Gas for the additional 100 units. 25

The linear program has 13 variables for the arcs and 6 constraints for the nodes. Use same six constraints for the Gorman shortest route problem as shown in the text.

Allowing 8 minutes to get to node 1 and 69 minutes to go from node 1 to node 6, we expect to make the delivery in 77 minutes. With a 20% safety margin, we can guarantee a delivery in 1.2(77) = 92 minutes. It is 1:00 p.m. now. Guarantee delivery by 2:32 p.m.

The maximum number of messages that may be sent is 10,000. 10,000 gallons per hour or 10 hours Flow reduced to 9,000 gallons per hour; 11.1 hours. Current Max Flow = 6,000 vehicles/hour. With arc 3-4 at a 3,000 unit/hour flow capacity, total system flow is increased to 8,000 vehicles/hour. Increasing arc 3-4 to 2,000 units/hour will also increase system to 8,000 vehicles/hour. Thus a 2,000 unit/hour capacity is recommended for this arc.

Maximal Flow = 23 gallons / minute. Five gallons will flow from node 3 to node 5.

Use the following notation to define the variables: first two letters designates the "from node" and the second two letters designates the "to node" of the arc. For instance, R1D1 is amount of regular time production available to satisfy demand in month 1, O1D1 is amount of overtime production in month 1 available to satisfy demand in month 1, D1D2 is the amount of inventory carried over from month 1 to month 2, and so on.

Note: Slack variable for constraint 2 = 75. d. The values of the slack variables for constraints 1 through 6 represent unused capacity. The only nonzero slack variable is for constraint 2; its value is 75. Thus, there are 75 units of unused overtime capacity in month 1.
