Question: Problem is to optimize production. Form the objective function, and solve with excel solver. Two operations must be completed, O 1 and O 2 O

Problem is to optimize production. Form the objective function, and solve with excel solver.
Two operations must be completed, O1 and O2
O1 can be completed either on machine 1 or machine 2
Machine one must make two suboperations, 11A and 11B
Setup time for 11A is 15 minutes
Operation time for 11A is 37 minutes
Setup time for 11B is 5 minutes
Operation time for 11B is 11 minutes
Machine 2 can do operation O1 as a single operation 12
Setup time for 12 is 12 minutes
Operation time for 12 is 37 minutes
O2 can be completed either on machine 3 or machine 4
Assume no extra transfer time from machine 1 to machine 3
Assume no extra transfer time from machine 2 to machine 4
Transfer time between production lines is additional 3 minutes
I.e. from machine 1 to 4 or from machine 2 to 3
Setup time for operation 24 is 5 minutes
Operation time for 24 is 7 minutes
Setup time for operation 21 is 9 minutes
Operation time for 22 is 5 minutes
