Integer Programming My brother would like to open a truck dealership in Konya. While he is setting up his business, he needs to decide how to allocate his total available space of 700 m2 and construction budget of 220000 TL among four departments: sales, service, spare parts, and showroom.
Every department will have a unit construction cost and unit profit per month per square meters allocated. Besides if he decides to include a department in his dealer, there is a minimum space requirement to be allocated and also fixed cost of construction. The related data is summarized below.
Department Construction Unit cost of
Fixed cost of Construction
per m2 Profit per m2 Minimum space needed
Sales 1200020030110
Service 2000030010100
Spare Parts 150001502580
Showroom 3100035040200
Develop an integer programming model to help my brother to decide how much (if any) space should be allocated to each potential department to maximize the total profit such that total construction budget, total space, and minimum space constraints will be satisfied. Please clearly define
*decision variables,
*objective function, and
*constraints.
