Question: The following master production schedule ( MPS ) for a group of three products planned to be produced in a month has been obtained.

The following master production schedule (MPS) for a group of three products planned to be produced in a month has been obtained.
\table[[Product,Week,\table[[Total],[(units)]]],[32,33,34,35],[1,180,180,,,360],[2,,,180,36,216],[3,,,,144,144],[Total (units),180,180,180,180,720]]
It has been observed that the above MPS is not feasible in terms of assembly capacity since:
The weekly capacity of the assembly department is 58 hours, and
The unit assembly times for products 1,2, and 3 are 0.342,0.294, and 0.258 hours, respectively.
Without changing the total planned production quantity of each product in the month (i.e., without changing the quantities 360,216, and 144),
(a) Formulate a mixed-integer linear programming model for obtaining a feasible solution, which allows the weekly production quantities to be changed, with an objective of minimizing the maximum unused capacity among four weeks.
(b) Using GAMS, solve your model in part (a), and tabulate the results and comment.
