NETWORK FLOW OPTIMIZATION - EXAMPLE • Distribution network for a single product Two production plants P1 and P2 Plant P1 has unlimited supply capacity, Plant P2 has a supply capacity of 60,000 units/year Production cost is the same at both plants. Two warehouses W1 and W2 with identical warehouse handling costs and both having unlimited capacity. • Three market areas C1, C2 and C3 with demand of 50000, 100000 and 50000 units/year. • Unit transportation costs: W1 W2 Plant →→ Warehouse P1 P2 $0 $4 $5 $2 Warehouse →→ Market Center C1 C2 C3 $3 $4 $5 $2 $1 $2
Case: Downtown Kingston Transport Centre/ Project management The downtown Kingston and Saint Andrew Centre were built for $400 million JAD in 2010 (Reid, 2012). The Centre is owned by the Jamaican Urban Development Corporation (UDC) and was formerly managed and operated by the Kingston and Saint Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) (Reid, 2012). Built as a multipurpose bus and taxi part the centre’s main function was to alleviate traffic congestion in downtown Kingston, especially in the parade area. The centre has become dilapidated and unmanageable due to a lack of usage by transport operators, commuters, implementation, enforcement, and a failure to have an effective transportation policy (Teachdem. n.d.). “The transportation Centre, which was designed to restore order to the public transportation system in downtown Kingston has failed miserably as most commuters, bus and taxi operators have ignored the facility which detractors say was built in the middle of nowhere” (Radio…

S7.12. The Federal Parcel Service wants to build a new distribution cen- ter in Charlotte, North Carolina. The center needs to be in the vicinity of uncongested Interstate-77 and Interstate-85 interchanges and the Char- lotte-Douglas International Airport. The coordinates of these three sites and the number of weekly packages that flow to each are as follows: 1-77 1-85 Airport X= 14 X= 20 X= 30 y = 30 y = 8 ソ=14 w = 17,000 w = 12,000 W = 9000 Determine the best site location using the center-of-gravity technique.

Required information The Childfair Company has three plants producing child push chairs that are to be shipped to four distribution centers. Plants 1, 2, and 3 produce 12, 17, and 11 shipments per month, respec- tively. Each distribution center heeds to receive 10 shipments per month. The distance from each plant to the respective distributing centers is given below: Distance Plant 1 2 3 1 1450 1750 1250 Distribution Center 3 1050 1250 1450 Obtain an optimal solution, and determine the total cost. Total Cost = $ 2 1950 2050 1850 The freight cost for each shipment is $100 plus 50 cents per mile. 4 1350 1650 1550
Problems 2 Helen Murvis, hospital administrator for Portland General Hospital, is trying to determine whether to build a large wing onto the existing hospital, a small wing, or no wing at all. If the population of Portland continues to grow, a large wing could return $150,000 to the hospital each year. If the small wing were built, it would return S$60,000 to the hospital each year if the population continues to grow. If the population of Portland remains the same, the hospital would encounter a loss of $85,000 if the large wing were built. Furthermore, a loss of $45,000 would be realized if the small wing were constructed and the population remains the same. Unfortunately, Helen does not have any information about the future population of Portland * Develop a decision table for this problem. * Determine the best decision using the following decision criteria 1. Мaximax 2. Маximin 3. Minimax Regret Hurwicz (use a coefficient of realism of 0.75) 5. Equal likelihood 6. Expected Value 7.…
3. Crash Time & Crash Costs Mimiyuuuh Builders uses the critical path method to monitor construction jobs. The company is currently 2 weeks behind schedule on Job #168, which is subject to a P 10,500 per week completion penalty. Mimiyuuuh desires to reduce the normal completion time of Job # 168 and, at the same time, report the highest possible income. Path A-B-C-F-G-H-I has a normal completion time of 20 weeks, and a critical path A-D-E-F-G-H-I has a normal completion time of 22 weeks. The following activities can be crashed: Activities Cost to Crash 1 Week Cost to Crash 2 Weeks BC P 15,000 DE P 8,000 10,000 8,800 19,600 EF 19,500 What activity (activities) should Mimiyuuuh crash? a.

• Use this information for the question below. Low-Grade Copper Ore $571 per Ton High-Grade Copper Ore $843 per Ton Coloma Cooper Incorporated is able to produce $640 worth of copper from one ton of low-grade copper ore. Because of its higher copper content, Coloma can produce $940 worth of copper from one ton of high-grade copper ore. A mining company is offering to trade 7,250 tons of low-grade copper ore for 5,000 tons of high-grade copper ore. Assuming Coloma currently has 5,000 tons of high-grade ore, what should it do?
