    Walsh's Juice Company transports unprocessed grape juice from vineyards to four processing plants. The juice is processed into bottled juice, concentrate, or jelly. The company aims to minimize transportation and processing costs. Decision variables include the amount of juice transported between vineyards and plants, and the amount processed into each product at each plant. The optimal solution transports specific amounts of juice between locations and processes certain amounts of each product to minimize total costs of $10,606,000.

    CASE STUDY

    WALSHS JUICE COMPANY


    Given that WALSHS juice company makes three products from
    unprocessed grape juice
    bottled juice, frozen juice concentrate and jelly.The juice is then
    transported to four different plants in Virginia, Michigan, Tennessee, and
    Indiana from Vineyard sites in Newyork ,Pensilvenia,Ohio.
    LPP Formulation
    Decision Variables
    Xij = tons of unprocessedgrape juice transported from vineyard i to plant j
    where i = n (New York), p (Pennsylvania), o (Ohio)
    j = v (Virginia), m (Michigan), t (Tennessee), I (Indiana).
    Yij = tons of grape juice processed into product i at plant j
    where i = j (juice), c(concentrate), jl (jelly)
    j = v (Virginia), m (Michigan), t (Tennessee), I (Indiana)
    Objective Function
    Minimize cost
    MIN Z = 850Xnv+720Xnm+910Xnt+750Xni
    +970Xpv+790Xpm+1050Xpt+880Xpi
    +900Xov+830Xom+780Xot+820Xoi

    +2600Yjlv+2300Yjlm+2500Yjlt+2800Yjli
    Subjected to constraints
    Availability of unprocessed juice
    Xnv+Xnm+Xnt+Xni<=1400
    Xpv+Xpm+Xpt+Xpi<=1100
    Xov+Xom+Xot+Xoi<=1700
    Processing Capacity At Each Plant
    Xnv+Xpv+Xov<=1200
    Xnm+Xpm+Xom<=1100
    Xnt+Xpt+Xot<=1400
    Xni+Xpi+Xoi<=1400

    Product Produced in a month


    Yjv+Yjm+Yjt+Yji=1200
    YCv+Ycm+Yct+Yci=900
    Yjlv+Yjlm+Yjlt+Yjli=700
    Tons of unprocessed juice required for every 1 ton product i
    Yjv+2ycv+1.5Yjlv-Xnv-Xpv-Xov=0
    Yjm+2Ycm+1.5Yjlm-Xnm-Xpm-Xom=0
    Yit+2Yct+1.5Yjlt-Xnt-Xpt-Xot=0
    Yji+2Yci+1.5Yjli-Xni-Xpi-Xoi=0
    Xij,Yij>=0
    Optimal Solution To Minimize Cost is Z=$10,606,000
    Optimised Solutions are
    Xni=1400
    Xpm=1100
    Xov=150
    Xot=1400
    Yji=1200
    Ycv=75
    Ycm=25
    Yct=700
    Yci=100
    Yjlm=700
