You have a set of legos
8 small bricks
6 large bricks
These are your “raw materials”.
You have to produce tables and chairs out of these legos. These are your “products”.
The Lego Production Problem
Weekly supply of raw materials:
6 Large Bricks8 Small Bricks
Products:
Chair TableProfit = 15 cents per Chair Profit = 20 cents per Table
The Lego Production Problem
X1 is the number of Chairs
X2 is the number of Tables
Large brick constraint
X1+2X2 6
Small brick constraint
2X1+2X2 8
Objective function is to Maximize
15X1+20 X2
X1 ≥ 0
X2 ≥ 0
Problem Formulation
We can make Product1 and Product2.
There are 3 resources; Resource1, Resource2, Resource3.
Product1 needs one hour of Resource1, nothing of Resource2, and three hours of resource3.
Product2 needs nothing from Resource1, two hours of Resource2, and two hours of resource3.
Available hours of resources 1, 2, 3 are 4, 12, 18, respectively.
Contribution Margin of product 1 and Product2 are $300 and $500, respectively.

Feasible, Infeasible, and Optimal Solution
Infeasible; Violates Constraint 3Infeasible; Violates nonnegativityFeasible; z = 3×3+ 5×4 = 29Infeasible; Violates Constraint 2
Feasible; z = 3×2+ 5×6 = 36 and Optimal
The Omega Manufacturing Co. has discontinued the production of a certain non-profitable product line. This act created considerable excess capacity. Management is considering devoting this excess capacity to one or more of three products. The hours required from each resource for each unit of product, the available capacity (hours per week) of the the three resources, as well as the profit of each unit of product are given below.
Optimal Product Mix
Sales department indicates that the sales potentials for products 1 and 2 exceeds maximum production rate, but the sales potential for product 3 is 20 units per week.

An appliance manufacturer produces two models of microwave ovens: H and W. Both models require fabrication and assembly work: each H uses four hours fabrication and two hours of assembly, and each W uses two hours fabrication and six hours of assembly. There are 600 fabrication hours this week and 450 hours of assembly. Each H contributes $40 to profit, and each W contributes $30 to profit.

A small candy shop is preparing for the holyday season. The owner must decide how many how many bags of deluxe mix how many bags of standard mix of Peanut/Raisin Delite to put up. The deluxe mix has 2/3 pound raisins and 1/3 pounds peanuts, and the standard mix has 1/2 pound raisins and 1/2 pounds peanuts per bag. The shop has 90 pounds of raisins and 60 pounds of peanuts to work with. Peanuts cost $0.60 per pounds and raisins cost $1.50 per pound. The deluxe mix will sell for 2.90 per pound and the standard mix will sell for 2.55 per pound. The owner estimates that no more than 110 bags of one type can be sold.

The Apex Television Company has to decide on the number of 27” and 20” sets to be produced at one of its factories. Market research indicates that at most 40 of the 27” sets and 10 of the 20” sets can be sold per month. The maximum number of work-hours available is 500 per month. A 27” set requires 20 work-hours and a 20” set requires 10 work-hours. Each 27” set sold produces a profit of $120 and each 20” set produces a profit of $80. A wholesaler has agreed to purchase all the television sets produced if the numbers do not exceed the maximum indicated by the market research.

Ralph Edmund loves steaks and potatoes. Therefore, he has decided to go on a steady diet of only these two foods (plus some liquids and vitamins supplements) for all his meals. Ralph realizes that this isn’t the healthiest diet, so he wants to make sure that he eats the right quantities of the two foods to satisfy some key nutritional requirements. He has obtained the following nutritional and cost information:
