Question: Refer to the problem Static workforce scheduling in the handout ( Wayne Winston s book ) , suppose that each full - time employee works

Refer to the problem Static workforce scheduling in the handout (Wayne Winstons
book), suppose that each full-time employee works 8 hours per day. Thus, Mondays
requirement of 17 workers may be viewed as a requirement of 8(17)=136 hours. The
post o.ice may meet its daily labour requirements by using both full-time and parttime employees. During each week, a full-time employee works 8 hours a day for five
consecutive days, and a part-time employee works 4 hours a day for five consecutive
days. A full-time employee costs the post o.ice $15 per hour, whereas a part-time
employee (with reduced fringe benefits) costs the post o.ice only $10 per hour. Union
requirements limit part-time labour to 25% of weekly labour requirements. Formulate
an LP to minimize the post o.ices weekly labour costs.
