A company has decided to use 0-1 integer programming to help make some investment decisions. There are three possible investment alternatives from which to choose, but if it is decided that a particular alternative is to be selected, the entire cost of that alternative will be incurred (i.e., it is impossible to build one-half of a factory). The integer programming model is as follows:
Maximize7000 X1+6000X2+8000X3
Subject to:X1+ X2+ X3<=1(only 1 may be chosen)
30000X1+18000X2+40000X3<=100,000(budget limit)
15 X1+18 X2+15 X3<=50(resource limitation)
all variables =0 or 1
whereX1=1 if alternative 1 is selected, 0 otherwise
X2=1 if alternative 2 is selected, 0 otherwise
X3=1 if alternative 3 is selected, 0 otherwise
The optimal solution is X1=0, X2=0, X3=1
In Table 10-1, which presents an integer programming problem, using the optimal solution means only one of the alternatives would be selected. How much slack is there in the third constraint?
