In a 3 x 3 transportation problem, let xij be the amount shipped from source i to destination j and let cij be the corresponding transportation cost per unit. The amounts of supply at sources 1, 2, and 3 are 15, 30, and 85 units, respectively, and the demands at destinations 1, 2, and 3 are 20, 30, and 80 units, respectively. Assume that the starting northwest-corner solution is optimal and that the associated values of the multipliers are given us u₁ = -2, U2 = 3, U3 = 5, V₁ = 2, V2 = 5, and v3 = 10. a) Find the associated optimal cost.

A retail store in Makkah, receives shipments of a particular product from Jeddah and Taif. Let X be units of product received from Jeddah and Y be units of product received from Taif.a. Write an expression for the total units of product received by the retail store in Makkah. b. Shipments from Jeddah cost $0.20 per unit, and shipments from Taif cost $0.25 per unit. Develop an objective function representing the total cost of shipments to Makkah.c. Assuming the monthly demand at the retail store is 5000 units, develop a constraint that requires 5000 units to be shipped to Makkah. d. No more than 4000 units can be shipped from Jeddah and no more than 3000 units can be shipped from Taif in a month. Develop constraints to model this situation.e. Of course, negative amounts cannot be shipped. Combine the objective function and constraints developed to state a mathematical model for satisfying the demand at the Makkah retail store at minimum cost. i have here one point, why we are choose r…

A manufacturer sells a product in two regions. Weekly demand in each region is Normally distributed with mean 1,000 and standard deviation 300. Lead time is one week. Demand in the two regions has a correlation coefficient of -.35. They are considering two supply chain configurations: (1) A distribution center in each region, and, (2) a central distribution center that would serve demand from each region. Suppose they want to maintain a 95% service level (i.e. don’t stock out 95% of the time). How much more/less safety stock will there be in the configuration with a single distribution center?DO NOT COPY THE ANSWER FROM ANOTHER QUESTION ASKED PLEASE!!

4. Companies A, B, and C supply components to three plants (F, G, and H) via two crossdocking facilities (D and E). It costs $4 to ship from D regardless of final destination and $3 to ship to E regardless of supplier. Shipping to D from A, B, and C costs $3, $4, and $5, respectively, and shipping from E to F, G, and H costs $10, $9, and $8, respectively. Suppliers A, B, and C can provide 200, 300 and 500 units respectively and plants F, G, and H need 350, 450, and 200 units respectively. Crossdock facilities D and E can handle 600 and 700 units, respectively.
