Problem 11-9 (Algorithmic)
Hawkins Manufacturing Company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is $2100, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods is $3300. Manufacturing costs are $16 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $19 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. Hawkins makes a decision at the end of each week as to which product will be manufactured the following week. If there is a production changeover from one week to the next, the weekend is used to reconfigure the production line. Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 5600 6-cylinder connecting rods and 8100 4-cylinder connecting rods.
Let x4 = the number of 4-cylinder connecting rods produced next week x6 = the number of 6-cylinder connecting rods produced next week s4= 1 if the production line is set up to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods; 0 if otherwise s6 = 1 if the production line is set up to produce the 6-cylinder connecting rods; 0 if otherwise
- Using the decision variables x4 and s4, write a constraint that limits next week's production of the 4-cylinder connecting rods to either 0 or 8100 units. fill in the blank 1x4fill in the blank 3s4
- Using the decision variables x6 and s6, write a constraint that limits next week's production of the 6-cylinder connecting rods to either 0 or 5600 units. fill in the blank 4x6fill in the blank 6s6
- Write three constraints that, taken together, limit the production of connecting rods for next week. fill in the blank 7x4fill in the blank 9s4 fill in the blank 10x6fill in the blank 12s6 fill in the blank 13s4 + fill in the blank 14s6fill in the blank 16
