PROBLEM 1:
Table 1.
450 250
PLANT 2 P4.00 P2.50 P3.00 500
350 150
PLANT 3 P4.50 P3.50 P3.00 300
300
DUMMY PLANT 150 150
TOTAL 1,650
DEMAND
450 600 600 1,650
A1 (450 × P5.00) = 2,250
Table is not degenerate. Hence, vacant cells are tested for further
improvement.
100 600
PLANT 2 P4.00 P2.50 P3.00 500
350 150
PLANT 3 P4.50 P3.50 P3.00 300
300
DUMMY PLANT 150 150
TOTAL 1,650
DEMAND
450 600 600 1,650
A1 (100 × 5.00) = 500
A2 (350 × 4.00) = 1,400
B1 (600 × 2.00) = 1,200
C2 (150 × 3.00) = 450
C3 (300 × 3.00) = 900
TOTAL COST 4,450
The test for vacant cells produced a positive value for the improvements
indices. Hence, the optimal solution has been reached.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the table 2. Izzy Plastic Processing Company should distribute the
number of cartons to the three customers as follows:
