A firm manufactures two products; the net profit on product 1 is Rupees 3 per unit and Rupees 5 per unit on product 2. The manufacturing process is such that each product has to be processed in two departments D1 and D2. Each unit of product1 requires processing for 1 minute at D1 and 3 minutes at D2; each unit of product 2 requires processing for 2 minutes at D1 and 2 minutes at D2. Machine time available per day is 860 minutes at D1 and 1200 minutes at D2. How much of product 1 and 2 should be produced every day so that total profit is maximum. Make the mathematical model for the given problem.

To answer this question we need to make use of Linear Programming

The solution is:

x = 170 units

y = 345 units

z(max) = 2235 rupees

To solve a linear programming problem, we need to formulate the model  

The Objective Function

Let´s call x the number of product 1 manufactured

and y the number of product 2 manufactured

Then the Objective Function is:

z = 3× x + 5×y    to be maximize

The set of constraints are:

                              D1           D2

                            ( min. )     ( min. )

Product  1 (x)          1               3

Product 2 (y)          2              2            

Availability            860        1200

First constraint:

Time available in D1:  860 minutes

1×x  +  2×y  ≤ 860

Second constraint:

Time available in D2: 1200 minutes

3×x  +  2×y  ≤ 1200

General constraint:   x ≥ 0  ;  y ≥ 0   integers ( we will assume only complete products at the end of the period no fractions )

Then the model is:

z = 3× x + 5×y    to be maximize

Subject to:  

1×x  +  2×y  ≤ 860

3×x  +  2×y  ≤ 1200

x ≥0   y ≥ 0   integers

With the help of AtoZmath we get the solution:

x = 170 units

y = 345 units

z(max) = 2235 rupies
