In a Word document, state the algebraic formulation (identify the decision variables, the objective function and the constraints) for each problem and answer the questions in the problem. Attached the Excel spreadsheet model for each problem to support your answers. Use formatting (labels, colors, borders) to enhance the readability of your models. 3.2 Balance Requirements: Revisit the Goodwin Manufacturing Company (Example 3.4). Imagine a policy requiring that every shipping route must be used and, in particular, that the shipment volume on any route out of a plant must be at least 20% of the total volume leaving that plant.
