(a) Goal programming model is following:

Decision variables: Let x1, x2 be the number (in 100 yard lots) of shag and scultured carpets to be
produced.

di+, di- be the positive and begative deviation variables for i-th goal.

Objective: Min 3*(480/480)*d1- + 2*(5/7)*(480/40)*d2- + 2*(2/7)*(480/50)*d3- + d4+

s.t.

8x1 + 6x2 - d1+ + d1- = 480 (Not underutilize production capacity)

x1 - d2+ + d2- = 40 (satisfy demand for 40 lots of shag carpets)

x2 - d3+ + d3- = 50 (satisfy demand for 50 lots of sculptured carpets)

8x1 + 6x2 - d4+ + d4- = 480+20   (limit overtime production to 20 hours)

x1, x2, di+, di- >= 0

(b) Solution of the model using LINDO is following (in LINDO model, positive and negative deviation
variables are written as dip (for di+) and din (for di-) respectively)

Optimal solution:

x1 = 40

x2 = 30

d1+ = 20

d3- = 20

all other deviation variables = 0
