Проблема была следующая:
Lost Maples Winery makes three varieties of contemporary Texas Hill County wines: Austin (a fine red), St. Genevieve (a table white) and Los Almos (a pink Zinfandel).
The raw materials plus labour requirements and unit contributions per case, for each of these three wines are shown in the table below.
| Per Case | Grapes: Variety A bushels | Grapes: Variety B bushels | Pounds of sugar | Labour man-hours | Contribution per case $ |
| Austin | 4 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 24 |
| St Genevieve | 0 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 28 |
| Los Almos | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 20 |
The winery has 2,800 bushels of Variety A grapes, 2040 bushels of Variety B grapes, 800 pounds of sugar and 1,060 man-hours of labour available during the next week. Its owners wish to maximise their contribution and have asked you to advise them as to how to achieve this.
REQUIRED:
a) Based upon the above data, formulate the information provided as a Linear Programming problem.
b) Solve the problem by computer.
c) Write a Business Report for the managers of Lost Maples Winery, explaining what you have done and the meaning of your calculations and results. You should assume that your Report’s audience have never heard of Linear Programming before.
d) In your Report, include details of the following:
Ø How much of each wine should be produced to maximise contribution?
Ø How much contribution will be made by selling the optimal output?
Ø Is there any sugar left over? If so, how much is left? If not, what is its shadow price (dual value) and what does this mean? Explain the ‘complementary slackness’ condition, using the LP results generated for sugar.
Ø Interpret the meaning of the lower bound to Labour in your ranging analysis; that is, how would your solution change if the amount of labour fell below that lower value?
Ø Explain the meaning of the upper bound for Los Almos wine in your ranging analysis?
e) Also discuss any limitations of your analysis, plus any further factors that the winery owners should consider, in determining their optimal future production strategy.
