M3 IND4. A gear manufacturer is planning next week's production for four types of gears. Because there are limited resources in the plant for production, the manufacturer can outsource the gears by purchasing these gears from a regional supplier. The regional supplier can supply a maximum of 400 units of each type of gear. The table below shows the exect demand for the gears, the revenue per unit, and the outsource cost per unit if the gears are purchased from the supplier. The manufacturer generates the same revenue per unit for the gears regardless of whether the gear is manufactured in their plant and then sold to their customers or outsourced from their supplier and then sold to their customers PRODUCT GEAR TYPE GEAR A GEAR B GEARC GEAR D Demand Revenue 650 500 450 $13.75 $12.50 $16.90 $18.50 Outsource Cost $9.20 $9.75 $11.00 $11.75 When the gears are manufactured in the own plant, the gears must be processed through three different departments: forming, hardening, and deburring. The table below shows the processing time (in hours) for each type of gear in the departments as well as the capacity for each department and the cost per hour for processing the gears in those departments. The cost per hour for processing the gears is provided so that you can calculate the manufacturing cost GEAR D DEPARTMENT GEAR C GEARD CPACITY(/hr.) GEAR A PROCESS (hrs /unit) GEAR B (hrs./unit) (hrs./unit) ( hours)$9.50 Forming Hardening 0.37 0.30 0.40 043045 0.25 0.37 0.52 0.40 500 400 0.31 0.42 $7.90 Formulate and solve this problem in Excel to determine the production and/or outsource plan which will meet the requirements and maximize the profit. (Hint: processing costs in the second table effect only the profit for the gears that are manufactured and not the gears that are outsourced) How much profit does the company for all gears they make and buy in your solution (the value of the objective function)? (enter to the nearest integer) Iif you could add one hour of capacity to any department to increase profit adding one hour of capacity to which department would generate the biggest increase in profit: Forming Hardening, or Deburring? a) b) c) Which of the following constraints have slack? (Choose all constraints with slack): Forming Hardening, or Deburring In your solution, how many Gear C's should the company make? If the cost per hour of the hardening process increases to $12/hr.-how many Gear D's should the company make with this new process cost? d) e)
