Case Study 2 Oman Cables Industry (SAOG) is one of the leading manufacturer of Medium Voltage power cables ( MV Cables) and Low Voltage power cables (LV Cables) in Oman. The market demand survey conducted by the company found that the maximum demand per week for MV cables is 30 and the maximum demand for LV cables is only 10. MV cables requires five production hours and five skilled labour hours to produce one unit whereas LV cables require three production hours and six skilled labour hours to produce one unit. The total production hours and skilled labour hours available per week are 180 and 240 respectively. Material constraint indicates the limitations of only 100 units for the requirement of two units of material per unit of MV Cables and LV Cables each. LV cables generates a contribution of RO 350 per unit and MV cable contributes RO 200 per unit. The company wishes to adopt Linear Programming Model to determine the optimum production mix of MV Cables and LV Cables. As a Production Manager, advise Oman Cables Industry (SAOG) how many units of Medium Voltage power cables (MV Cables) and Low Voltage power cables (LV Cables) need to be manufactured in a week. Also, calculate the maximum profit earned by Oman Cables Industry (SAOG) per week. (3+5+2 = 10 Marks)
