A Make-or-Buy Decision
![Page 4: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
QUESTION
• A company markets various business and engineering products.
• Currently it is preparing to introduce two new calculators: one for the business market called the Financial Manager and one for the engineering market called the Technician.
• Each calculator has three components: a base, an electronic cartridge, and a face plate or top. The same base is used for both calculators, but the cartridges and tops are different.
• All components can be manufactured by the company or purchased from the outside suppliers.
• 3000 Financial Manager calculators and 2000 Technician calculators will be needed.
![Page 5: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Contd:
• Manufacturing capacity is limited.• The company has 200 hours of regular manufacturing
time and 50 hours of overtime that can be scheduled for the calculators.
• Overtime involves a premium at the additional cost of $9 per hour.
• The problem for the company- to determine how many units of each component to manufacture and how many units of each component to purchase.

Production Scheduling
![Page 12: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
One of the most important applications of linear programming deals with multiperiod planning such as production scheduling. Let us consider the case of Bollinger Electronics Company, which produces two different electronic components for a major airplane engine manufacturer. The airplane engine manufacturer notifies the Bollinger sales office each quarter of their monthly requirements for components for each of the next 3 months. The monthly requirements for the components may vary considerably, depending on the type of engine the airplane engine manufacturer is producing.
![Page 13: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The table below shows the order that has been received for the next 3 month period.
Three month demand schedule for Bollinger Electronics Company

![Page 14: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
After the order is processed, a demand statement is sent to the production control department. The
production control department must then develop a 3 month production plan for the components. In arriving at the desired schedules, the production
manager will identify:
• Total production cost• Inventory holding cost• Change in production schedule cost
![Page 15: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Let xim denote the production volume in units for product i in month m. Here i=1,2 and m=1,2,3; i=1 refers to component 322 A, i=2 refers to component 802B, m=1 refers to April, m=2 refers to May and m=3 refers to June.
![Page 16: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If component 322A costs $20 per unit produced and component 802B costs $10 per unit produced, the total production cost part of the objective function is
Total production cost=20x11+20x12+20x13+10x21+10x22+10x23
![Page 17: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In order to incorporate the relevant inventory holding cost into the model, let ‘Sim’denote the inventory level for the product ‘i ’ at the end of the month ‘m’. Bollinger has determined that the monthly inventory holding costs are 1.5% of the cost of the product,ie., (0.015)($20)=$0.30 per unit for the component 322A and (0.015)($10)=$0.15 per unit of component 802B..
![Page 18: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A common assumption made in production scheduling is that the monthly inventories are an acceptable approximation of the average
inventory levels throughout the month. Making this assumption the inventory holding cost portion of the objective function will be as
follows:
Inventory holding cost= 0.30s11 +0.30s12 +0.30s13+0.15s21+0.15s22+0.15s23
![Page 19: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
To incorporate the costs of fluctuations in production levels from month to month, two more variables are defined:
Im =increase in the total production levels during the month m
Dm=decrease in the total production level during the month m
After estimating the effects of employee
layoffs,turnovers,reassignment training costs and other costs, Bollinger estimates that the cost of increase in
production level for any month is $.0.50 per unit increase .Similarly the cost of decrease in production
level for any month is estimated as $0.20 per unit decrease.
![Page 20: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The third portion of the objective function will be:Change in production level costs- 0.50I1 + 0.50I2 +
0.50I3 + 0.20D1 + 0.20D2 + 0.20D3
Combining all the costs, the complete objective function becomes:
Min 20x11 + 20x12 +20x13 +10x21 + 10x22 + 10x23 + 0.30s11 + 0.30s12+ 0.30s13 + 0.15s21 + 0.15s22 + 0.15s23 + 0.50I1 + 0.50I2 + 0.50I3 +
0.20D1 + 0.20D2 + 0.20D3
![Page 21: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Constraints
The units demanded can be expressed as:
Ending inventory from previous month + Current production-Ending inventory for this month=This month’s demand
Suppose the inventories at the beginning of the 3- month scheduling period were 500 units for component 322A and 200 units for component 802B. The demand for both products in the first month (April) was 1000 units, so the constraints for meeting demand in the first month becomes
![Page 22: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
500+x11-s11=1000
200+x21-s21=1000
Moving the constants to the right side we have:
X11-s11=500
X21-s21=800
![Page 23: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Similarly demand constraints for second and third month:
Month 2S11+x12-s12=3000S21+x22-s22=500Month 3S12+x13-s13=5000S22+x23-s23=3000
![Page 24: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
If the company specifies a minimum inventory level at the end of the 3-month period of at least 400 units of component 322A and at least 200 units of component 802B,then
S13>=400
S23>=200
![Page 25: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Suppose if additional information on machine, labour and storage capacity is given:
Month Machine Labour Storage capacity capacity capacity (hours) (hours) (square feet)April 400 300 10,000May 500 300 10,000June 600 300 10,000
![Page 26: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Machine, Labour and storage requirements
Component Machine Labour Storage (hours/unit) (hours/unit) (square feet)
322A 0.10 0.05 2
802B 0.08 0.07 3
![Page 27: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Then the constraints are:Machine capacity0.10x11+0.08x21<=400 Month 10.10x12+0.08x22<=500 Month 20.10x13+0.08x23<=600 Month 3

Storage capacity2s11+3s21<=10,000 Month 12s12+3s22<=10,000 Month 22s13+3s23<=10,000 Month 3
![Page 28: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
One final set of constraints must be added to guarantee that Im and Dm will reflect the increase or decrease in the the total production level for month m. Suppose that the production level for March, the month before the start of the current production scheduling period, had been 1500 units of component 322A and 1000 units of component 802B for a total production level of 1500+1000=2500
units. We can find the change in production for April from the relationship
April production-March production= Change
Using the April production variables, x11 and x21 and the March production of 2500 units, we have (x11 +x21) -2500 = Change
![Page 29: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
A positive change reflects an increase in the total production level, and a negative change reflects a
decrease in the total production level. We can use the increase in production for April, I1, and the decrease in production for April, D1, to specify the constraint for the
change in total production for the month of April: (x11 +x21) – 2500= I1 – D1
We cannot have an increase in production and a decrease in production during the same month; thus
either I1 OR D1 will be zero. This approach of denoting the change in production level as the difference between
two non negative variables, I1 and D1, permits both positive and negative changes in the production level. If a single variable (like cm) had been used, only positive
changes would be possible because of the nonnegativity requirement.
![Page 30: Production Management Application by Aparna Asha. v Saritha Jinto Antony Kurian](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ea15503460f94ba4a4b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Using the same approach in May and June, we obtain the constraints for the second and third months of the
production scheduling period:
(x12 + x22) – (x11 + x21) = I2 –D2 (x13 +x23) – (x12 + x22) = I3 – D3
Placing the variables on the left-hand side and the constraints on the right-hand side yields the complete set of what is commonly referred to as production-smoothing
constraints.
x11 +x12 – I1 + D1 = 2500 -x11 –x21 +x12 +x22 –I2 +D2 = 0
-x12 – x22 + x13 + x23 – I3 + D3 =0
