A linear programming computer package is needed.Frandec Company manufactures, assembles, and rebuilds material-handling equipment used in warehouses and distribution centers. One product, called a Liftmaster, is assembled from four components: a frame, a motor, two supports, and a metal strap. Frandec’s production schedule calls for 4,500 Liftmasters to be made next month. Frandec purchases the motors from an outside supplier, but the frames, supports, and straps may be either manufactured by the company or purchased from an outside supplier. Manufacturing and purchase costs per unit are shown.ComponentManufacturing CostPurchase CostFrame$37.00$50.00Support$10.50$14.00Strap$5.50$6.50Three departments are involved in the production of these components.

In January, the company produced 15,000 windows and ended the month with 9,000 windows in inventory. EZ-Windows’ management team would like to develop a production schedule for the next three months. A smooth production schedule is obviously desirable because it maintains the current workforce and provides a similar month-to-month operation. However, given the sales forecasts, the production capacities, and the storage capabilities as shown, the management team does not think a smooth production schedule with the same production quantity each month possible.FebruaryMarchAprilSales forecast15,00016,50020,000Production capacity14,00014,00018,000Storage capacity6,0006,0006,000The company’s cost accounting department estimates that increasing production by one window from one month to the next will increase total costs by $1.00 for each unit increase in the production level. In addition, decreasing production by one unit from one month to the next will increase total costs by $0.65 for each unit decrease in the production level. Ignoring production and inventory carrying costs, formulate a linear programming model that will minimize the cost (in dollars) of changing production levels while still satisfying the monthly sales forecasts. (Let F = number of windows manufactured in February, M = number of windows manufactured in March, A = number of windows manufactured in April, I1 = increase in production level necessary during month 1, I2 = increase in production level necessary during month 2, I3 = increase in production level necessary during month 3, D1 = decrease in production level necessary during month 1, D2 = decrease in production level necessary during month 2, D3 = decrease in production level necessary during month 3, s1 = ending inventory in month 1, s2 = ending inventory in month 2, and s3 = ending inventory in month 3.)Min z=1iƒ+1Im+1Ia+0.65Dƒ+0.65Dm+0.65Da
