General Motor produced a lightweight, all-terrain vehicle named as Terrain-2010 for military use. The company is now planning to sell the vehicle to public. It has five plants that manufacture the vehicle and four regional distribution centres. The company is unsure of public demand for the Terrain-2010, so it is considering reducing its fixed operating costs by closing one or more plants, even though it would incur an increase in transportation costs. The relevant costs for the problem are provided in the following table (Table 1). The transportation costs are per thousand vehicles shipped; for example, the cost of shipping 1,000 vehicles from plant A to warehouse W3 is $30,000. The annual demand from each warehouse of W1, W_2, W3 and W4 is 15,000,12,000,10,000 and 12,000, respectively. The annual production capacity and annual fixed operating costs of each plant are given in the table; for example, the annual production capacity and annual fixed operating cost for Plant A is 12,000 and $2,000,000, respectively.
