Transportation Problem Suppose a company has three plants to produce a product and send to four warehouses. Each plant has a capacity limit, and each warehouse has a demand to satisfy the local demands. The following table shows the shipping cost/truckload from each plant to each warehouse. Plants 1 2 3 Demands 1 623 500 789 100 Warehouses 2 356 290 Programmer 1 Programmer 2 Programmer 3 578 100 Formulate as LP model to minimize the shipping cost. 3 889 345 980 200 Assignment Problem Task 1 50 43 60 4 657 678 Suppose a data processing department wishes to assign three programmers to three programming tasks (one programmer to each task). Management estimated the total number of days each programmer would take if assigned to the different jobs, and these estimates are summarized in the following table. Task 2 25 30 28 776 250 Capacity 200 200 250 Task 3 78 70 80 Formulate as LP model to minimize the total programmer days required completing all three jobs.
