1-) Find mathematical model formulation
2-) Solver model construction
CoffeelsLife, Inc., one of the world's famous French Press coffee maker producers, is founded in 1995 in the United States. With the 25 years in the business and 325 store locations in the United States, the company decided to expand its business to Europe in 2015. Turkey was one of the candidate countries and the company opened three production facilities in stanbul, Bolu, and Ktahya. Due to the special marketing strategy of the company, they decided to sell their French Press coffee makers to only Turkey's biggest e-commerce businesses. Marketing department made agreements with three different companies HepsiOrada, Trendyap and N12. The production facilities produce four types of coffee makers: Basic, Moderate, Advanced and Professional. Any type product can be produced in any of the three different facilities. The products produced in different facilities are identical. However, the production processes are different. Hence, each facility has its own requirements and unit production costs. CoffeelsLife sells these four types of products to HepsiOrada, Trendyap and N12. Product selling prices per unit product are given in Table 1. Table 1.

These product type- resource restrictions are given in Tables 4-6 for the facilities in stanbul, Bolu and Ktahya, respectively. The last row of Tables 4-6 indicates the per-month availability of labor and hours for the facilities. Inventory of the various products may be stored from month 1 to month 2 incurring inventory-storage costs equal to 8% of the costs in Table 2. Initially, that is, at the start of month 1, there is no inventory, and CoffeeIsLife would like to end the two-month planning period with no inventory. All shipping from stanbul and Bolu that goes to HepsiOrada or Trendyap must go through a special quality control process. This quality control technology is only available in Ankara. Hence, these units are first sent to Ankara, inspected, and then sent to their destination. Ankara can inspect at most 1,500 pieces every month. The corporation controls the material that goes in the coffee makers; the material requirements for each coffee maker type are given in the first column of Tables 4-6. A total of 3,500 pounds of material is available for the entire system (that is, all three facilities) in each month of the planning period. Table 4.
