Hint: Reverse the signs and ignore entries of 0 and 1. The Kaolene Co. Ltd has six different
products all made from fabricated steel. Each product passes through a combination of five
production operations: cutting, forming, drilling, welding and coating.

Steel is cut to the length required, formed into the appropriate shapes, drilled if necessary,
welded together if the product is made up of more than one part, and then passed through the
coating machine. Each operation is separate and independent, except for the cutting and
forming operations, when, if needed, forming follows continuously after cutting. Some products
do not require every production operation.

The output rates from each production operations, based on a standard measure for each
product, are set out in the tableau below, along with the total hours of work available for each
operation. The contribution per unit of each product is also given. It is estimated that three of the
products have sales ceilings and these are also given below:

The production and sales for the year were found using a linear programming algorithm. The
final tableau is given below. Variables X7 to X11 are the slack variables relating to the
production constraints, expressed in the order of production. Variables X12 to X14 are the slack
variables relating to the sales ceilings of X3, X5 and X6 respectively.

After analysis of the above results, the production manager believes that further mechanical
work on the cutting and forming machines costing £200 can improve their hourly output rates as
follows:
