A print shop at a community college in Cupertino, California, employs two different contractors to maintain its copying machines. The print shop needs to have 12 IBM, 18 Xerox, and 20 Canon copying machines serviced. Contractor A can repair 2 IBM, 1 Xerox, and 2 Canon machines at a cost of $800 per month, while Contractor B can repair 1 IBM, 3 Xerox, and 2 Canon machines at a cost of $1000 per month. How many months should each of the two contractors be employed to minimize the cost?

An operatlons consultant for an automatic car wash wishes to plan for enough capacity to handle 60 cars per hour. Each car will have wash time of 2 minutes, but there is to be a 20 per centallowance for setup, delays and payment transactions. The installation capacity of car wash stalls should be
A company producing a standard line and a deluxe line of dishwashers has the following time requirements (in minutes) in departments where either model can be processed. Standard Deluxe Stamping 3 6 Motor Installation 10 10 Wiring 10 15 The standard models contribute $20 each and the deluxe $30 each to profits. Because the company produces other items that share resources used to make the dishwashers, the stamping machine is available only 30 minutes per hour, on average. The motor installation production line has 60 minutes available each hour. There are two lines for wiring, so the time availability is 90 minutes per hour. Write the formulation for this linear program. What are the optimal daily production quantities of each product and the optimal daily profit?
Galaxy Candy Company manufactures two popular candy bars, the Eclipse bar and the Nova bar. Both candy bars go through a mixing operation where the various ingredients are combined, and the Coating Department where the bars from the Mixing Department are coated with chocolate.

The Dahlia Medical Center has 30 labor rooms, 15 combination labor and delivery rooms, 3 delivery rooms, and 1 special delivery room reserved for complicated births. All of these facilities operate around the clock. Time spent in labor rooms varies from hours to days, with an average of about a day. The average uncomplicated delivery requires about 1 hour in adelivery room. During an exceptionally busy 3-day period, 109 healthy babies were born at Dahlia Medical Center. Sixty babies were born in separate labor and delivery rooms, 45 were born in combined labor and delivery rooms, and only 4 babies required a labor room and the complicated delivery room. Which of the facilities (labor rooms, combination labor and delivery rooms, or delivery rooms) had the greatest utilization rate?

Charles Lackey operates a bakery in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Because of its excellent product and excellent location, demand has increased by 25% in the last year. On far too many occasions, customers have not been able to purchase the bread of their choice. Because of this size of the store, no new ovens can be added. At a staff meeting, one employee suggested ways to load the ovens differently so that more loaves of bread can be baked at one time. This new process will requrie that the ovens be, loaded by hand, requiring additional manpower. This is the only production change that will be made in order to meet the increased demand. The bakery currently makes 1,600 loaves per month. Employees are paid $8 per hour. In addition to the labor cost, Charles also has a constant utility cost per month of $700 and a per loaf ingredient cost of $0.50. Current multifactor productivity for 640 work hours per month= .242 loaves/dollar (round your response to three decimal places). After increasing…

The manager of a car wash must decide whether to have one or two wash lines. One line will mean a fixed cost of $6,000 a month, and two lines will mean a fixed cost of $10,500 a month. Each line would be able to process 15 cars an hour. Variable costs will be $3 per car, and revenue will be $5.95 per car. The manager projects an average demand of between 14 and 18 cars anhour. Would you recommend one or two lines? The car wash is open 300 hours a month.
