Introduction Literature Review Methodology Analysis and Interpretation Conclusion

Gandhi company's problem is one out of many muti-period problems faced by several companies.
1

Sailco Corporation faced a similar demand scheduled problem. Her solution helped us to formulate our LP;

A similar demand schedule problem was faced by Bollinger Electronics Company (Louisiana U.S.A.). Whose solution guided us in formulation of our LP;

Moreover, Paynothing shoes also had a similar problem in 1983, where they faced a demand for pairs of shoes which must be met on time.

Introduction Literature Review Methodology Analysis and Interpretation Conclusion How to solve Gandhi's Linear Program?

There are basically two main methods which can be use in solving all linear programming problems; The graphical Method; Simplex Algorithm Method.
1

Gandhi's problem could be solved using the Big-M method or by using LINDO;

We chose LINDO because of the many variables involved.

Xpt = Pants producted with regular time per month(t = 1,2) Xst = Shirts producted with regular time per month(t = 1,2) Ypt = Pants producted with over time per month(t = 1,2) Yst = Shirts producted with over time per month(t = 1,2) Ipt = Inventory of pants at the end of month(t = 1,2) Ist = Inventory of shirts at the end of month(t = 1,2)

Total Cost

Total Cost = [(Cost of production with regular time) * (Number of article produced in regular time)] + [(cost after production with over time) * (Number of articles producted in overtime)] + [(Holding cost) * (Inventory of production at the end of month (t))] MinZ = 4(Xp1 + Xp2 + Xs1 + Xs2) + 8(Yp1 + Yp2 + Ys1 + Ys2) + 3(Ip1 + Ip2 + Is1 + Is2)

Inventory

Inventory = Inventory at the end of month(t) + Month(t)production - Month(t)demands

Ip1 = (2 + Xp1 + Yp1) - 15 Ip2 = (Ip1 + Xp2 + Yp2) - 14 Is1 = (1 + Xs1 + Ys1) - 10 Is2 = (Is1 + Xs2 + Ys2) - 12

Articles constraints:

(Xp1 + Xs1) = 25 (Xp2 + Xs2) = 25

Cloth Constraints

We need 2 sq yd to manifacture a short and 3 sq yd to manifacture a pant.

1

In month(t=1), 90 sq yd are available

2(Xs1 + Ys2) + 3(Xp1 + Yp1) 90

2

In month(t=2), 60 sq yd are available

2(Xs2 + Ys2) + 3(Xp2 + Yp2) 60

Thus our LP can be writting like this:

MinZ = 4(Xp1 + Xp2 + Xs1 + Xs2) + 8(Yp1 + Yp2 + Ys1 + Ys2) + 3(Ip1 + Ip2 + Is1 + Is2) Subject to:

Ip1 = (2 + Xp1 + Yp1) - 15 Ip2 = (Ip1 + Xp2 + Yp2) - 14 Is1 = (1 + Xs1 + Ys1) - 10 Is2 = (Is1 + Xs2 + Ys2) - 12 (Xp1 + Xs1) = 25 (Xp2 + Xs2) = 25 2(Xs1 + Ys2) + 3(Xp1 + Yp1) 90 2(Xs2 + Ys2) + 3(Xp2 + Yp2) 60 (Ipt 0, Ist Where (t = 1, 2)

0, Xs 1, 2 0, Xp 1, 2 0, Yp 1, 2 0, Ys 1, 2 0)

Brice Kamgang, Honorine Tambong, Achile Zambo, Emmanuel Operation Research Tazifor, Rabiatou Ngamliya

Introduction Literature Review Methodology Analysis and Interpretation Conclusion

Gandhi can use the LINDO software or the Big-method to solve the above formulated LP. The solution obtained will enable him meet his demands on time within the next two months at a minimum cost.

Introduction Literature Review Methodology Analysis and Interpretation Conclusion

Recommendations

They should use the LINDO software to solve the formulated LP it is faster and easier to come out with the solution; In solving this problem using LINDO, Gandhi must make sure he replaces all the alphabetic letters used as subscribes(Ipt, Ist, Xst...) to numbers; A policy of producing the amount demanded each month would eliminate the inventory holding-cost problem.
