The production manager is developing a linear program to determine a minimum cost 6-months production plan which takes into account production and inventory costs. The manager defines the following decision variables:
Ri = the number of units produced in month i during Regular Time (i=1,2,....,6)
Vi= the number of units produced in month i during Over Time (i=1,2,....,6)
Si= the number of units held in inventory at the end of month i (i=1,2,....,6)
Which of the following equations represents the balance constraint for month 4(i.e. establishing the 'flow'/relationship between production, demand, and inventory levels during month 4)
Group of answer choices
R4+ V4+S4=1900
S3+ R4+ V4 S4=1900
S4+ R4+ V4 S5=1900
50 R4+75 V4+8 S4=1900
