Hand out No1 Formulation of Linear Programming Problem 1. The Holiday Meal Turkey Ranch is considering buying two different brands of turkey food and blending then to provide a good low cost diet for its turkeys. Each feed containd, in varying proportions, some or all of the three nutritional ingredients essential for flattening turkeys. Each pound of brand I purchased for example contains 5 ounces of ingredient A4 ounces of gradient B and ½ ounce of gradient C. Each pound of brand II contains 10 ounces of ingredient A, 3 ounces of ingredient B but no ingredient C. The brand I feed costs the rnch 2 cents a pound, while the brand II feed costs 3 cents a pound. The owner of the ranch would like to use LP to determine the lowest cost dient meets the minimum intake requirement for each nutritional ingredient as shoen below Ingredient

Formulate the LPP. 2. A post office requires different number of full time employees on different days of the week. The number of full time employees required each day is given below. Union rules state that each full time employee must work 5 consecutive days and then receive 2 days off. Th post office wants to meet its daily requirement using only full time employees. Its objective is to minimize the number of full time employees that must be hired. Days Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Minimum 17 13 15 19 14 16 11 requirement 3. In the above example, suppose that each full time employee works 8 hours per day, thus Monday’s requirement is 8*17=136 hours. The post office can meet its daily labour requirement by both full time and part time employees. During each week a full time employee can work 8 hrs a dya and five consecutive days and a part time employee can work 4 hrs a day and five consecutive days. A full time employee costs post office $ 15 per hrs while the part time employee with reduced fringe benefits cost the post office only $ 10 per hrs. Union requirements limit part time labour to 25% of the weekly labour requirement. Formulate LPP. 4. A cargo plane has three compartments for storing cargo: front, centre and rear.

What is the average time the car waits for the oil and lubrication service to begin? What is the average time the car spends in the system? What is the probability that the arrival has to wait for the service on the arrival? 3.Vehicles pass through a toll gate at a rate of 90 per hour. The average time to pass through the gate is 36 seconds . The arrival rate and the service rate follow poisson distribution . There is a complaint that the vehicle waits for long duration. The authorities are willing to install one more gate to reduce the average time to pass through the toll gate to 30 seconds if the idle time of the toll gate is less than 10% and the average queue length at the gate is more than 5 vehicles. Check whether the installation of the second gate is justified. 4. Arrivals at telephone booth are considered to be Poison with an average time of 10 minutes between one arrival and the next. The length of the phone call is assumed to be exponentially distributed with mean three minute. Assuming that the telephone is only one What is the probability that a person arriving at the booth will have to wait? What is the average length of the queue that forms from time to time? What is the probability that the booth will have five persons waiting for the call? 5. The Taj Service station has a central store where service mechanics arrive to take spare parts for the jobs they work upon. The mechanics wait in queue if necessary and are served on first come first served basis. The store is manned by one attendant, who can attend 8 mechanics per hour, on an average. The arrival rate of the mechanics averages 6 per hour. Assuming that the pattern of mechanics’ arrival is Poisson distributed and the serving time is exponentially distributed. Determine the parameters of this queue. The information about the cost to the company is as follows The mechanics are paid Rs. 8/hr and the store keeper is paid Rs.5/hour If one more attendant is hired for the storeroom, the service rate can be increased form 8 per hour to 12 per hour . If an additional attendant is hired for the storeroom, the service rate can be increased form 12 per hour to 16 per hour. 6. A TV repairman finds that the time spent on his job has an exponential distribution with a mean of 30 minutes.

Also obtain average number of sets in the system.

7. A computer maintenance contract is to be signed by your office. At an average three computers go off road due to various defects. The cost of computer being unavailable is Rs. 8000 per month. Two companies have bid for the contract. Alfa computers have quoted at Rs 3000 per month whereas Beta Bytes has quoted at Rs 5000 per month of the contract. Enquiries reveal that Alfa computers has an average repair capability of 5 computers per month and Beta bytes can repair six computers per month on an average. Who should be given the contract? Note The performance measures of the queue systems are judged using the following: 1.The probability that the system has n customers in the system including the customers waiting for service as well as customers in the service facility is given by Pn= probability that there are n customers in the system (queue +service) Pn = ρ n(1-ρ ) If there are no customers we have P0= (1-ρ ). When there are no customers the server is idle. This is also the probability that the server is idle. The probability that the arriving customer has to wait is also the same as 1-P0 2. Expected number of customers in the systems (queue + service) at any time is denoted by Ls= ρ /(1-ρ ) = λ /(µ -λ ) 3. The expected number of customers waiting in the queue at any time is given by Lq= Ls-(λ /µ ) = ρ 2/(1-ρ ) = λ 2/µ (µ -λ ) 4. The expected number of customers in the queue given that there is a queue formed is a conditional. It is given by Average length of a non empty queue=µ / (µ -λ ) 5. The average time spent by the customer in the queue is given by Wq =(1/λ ) Lq =ρ / (µ -λ ) 6.The average number of customers in the system; queue and service facility is given by Ws=(1/λ ) Ls = 1/(µ -λ )

7. The probability that a customer has to spend more than t units of time in the system Ws(t) = e-t/ws 8.The probability that a customer spends more than t units of time in the queue,

Wq (t)= ρ e-t/ws.
