A linear programming computer package is needed. Western Family Steakhouse offers a variety of low-cost meals and quick service. Other than management, the steakhouse operates with two full-time employees who work 8 hours per day. The rest of the employees are part-time employees who are scheduled for 4-hour shifts during peak meal times. On Saturdays the steakhouse is open from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Management wants to develop a schedule for part-time employees that will minimize labor costs and still provide excellent customer service. The average wage rate for the part-time employees is $7.60 per hour. The total number of full-time and part-time employees needed varies with the time of day as shown.

The other full-time employee comes to work at 1:00 p.m. and works the same 4-hours-on, 1-hour-off, 4-hours-on pattern. (a) Develop a minimum-cost schedule for part-time employees. (Let x; = the number of part-time employees who start work beginning at hour i where i = 1 = 11:00 a.m., i = 2 = Noon, etc).

How many part-time shifts are needed? shifts Use the surplus variables to comment on the desirability of scheduling at least some of the part-time employees for 3-hour shifts. This answer has not been graded yet. (c) Assume that part-time employees can be assigned either a 3-hour or a 4-hour shift. Develop a minimum-cost schedule for the part-time employees. (Let x, be the same variables from part a. Let y; = the number of part-time employees who start work beginning at hour i where i = 1 = 11:00 a.m., i = 2 = Noon, etc).
