Problem 3 (10 Points) (-2/error)

Do not solve these problemsformulate/define them only.

XYZ Manufacturing Company operates five plants in A, O, OM, TH, and in T. The company ships products from it plants to its distribution centers (DCs): DC 1, DC 2, & DC 3. You are given the data below regarding plant capacities, annual fixed costs for the plants (incurred if and only if the plant is used and ships greater than 0 units), manufacturing cost per unit + shipping cost per unit, and demand at each DC.

Note: The CEO has mandated that the TH plant MUST be used. You will need to add a constraint for this mandate and to show your additional work. Formulate a model to determine which plants to use to minimize total cost.

Plant Annual Fixed Cost DC 1 DC 2 DC 3 Plant Capacity
A $1,500,000 $8.75 $9.60 $8.30 49,000
O $1,320,000 $8.20 $7.10 $8.05 21,000
OM $1,680,000 $7.30 $6.20 $7.55 28,000
TH $1,480,000 $6.10 $8.45 $5.22 44,000
T $900,000 $8.92 $8.34 $9.25 26,000
DC Demand= 38,500 36,500 37,900
