Thomas and Washburn both order shelving from the same two manufacturers, Arnold Manufacturers and Supershelf, Inc. Currently weekly demands by the users are: 550 for Zrox, 660 for Hewes, 440 for Rockwright. Both Arnold and Supershelf can supply at most 75 units to its customers. Because of long standing contracts based on past orders, unit shipping costs from the manufacturers to the suppliers are: ThomasWashburn Arnold58 Supershelf74 The costs (per unit) to ship the shelving from the suppliers to the final destinations are: ZroxHewesRockwright Thomas158 Washburn344 Formulate a linear programming model which will minimize total shipping costs for all parties.

64. MT 23564 Network Flow Problems – Production & Inventory A producer of building bricks has firm orders for the next four weeks. Because of the changing cost of fuel oil which is used to fire the brick kilns, the cost of producing bricks varies week to week and the maximum capacity varies each week due to varying demand for other products. They can carry inventory from week to week at the cost of $0.03 per brick (for handling and storage). There are no finished bricks on hand in Week 1 and no finished inventory is required in Week 4. The goal is to meet demand at minimum total cost. AAssume delivery requirements are for the end of the week, and assume carrying cost is for the end-of-the-week inventory.
