Par Inc. is a small manufacturer of golf equipment. It produces two types of golf bags: Standard and Deluxe. Each bag type requires the following operations (and production times) to produce one unit:
Production Time (hours) | Time Available | ||
Operation | Standard | Deluxe | (hours/month) |
Cutting and Dyeing | 0.7 | 1 | 630 |
Sewing | 0.5 | 5/6 | 600 |
Finishing | 1 | 2/3 | 708 |
Inspection | 0.1 | 0.25 | 135 |
Time available refers to the production capacity for each of the above operations. For example, 630 total hours a month are available for cutting and dyeing, which will be distributed for the production of the two types of bags.
Every standard bag makes a profit of $10, and every deluxe bag makes a profit of $9.
The problem is to determine the optimal number of standard bags and deluxe bags to produce every month to maximize the profit contribution.
