3.4. How to solve a LP model in Excel? (follow the second LP reading package) 3.4.1. Check the Excel program 3.4.2. Enter the data & formulas (Example 2 -- Galaxy Industries) X1 = Number of space ray X2 = Number of zappers Maximize P = 8X1 + 5X2 subject to 2X1 + 1X2 < 1200 (plastic) 3X1 + 4X2 < 2400 (labor) X1 + X2 < 800 (total) X1 - X2 < 450 (mix) X1 > 0 X2 > 0
3.4. How to solve a LP model in Excel? 3.4.3. Solve the model and obtain computer reports -- Answer report -- Sensitivity report -- Limits report (not needed)
Take home exercise (Tuesday, Oct. 16) Solve the following LP model in Excel and obtain the “answer report” and “sensitivity report” X1 = Number of space ray X2 = Number of zappers Maximize P = 8X1 + 5X2 subject to 2X1 + 1X2 < 1200 (plastic) 3X1 + 4X2 < 2400 (labor) X1 + X2 < 800 (total) X1 - X2 < 450 (mix) X1 > 0 X2 > 0
3.5. How to interpret computer reports and conduct sensitivity analysis? 3.5.1. Answer report (1) Optimal solution for X1 and X2 (2) Optimal value of the objective function (3) “Original value” (4) “Cell value” or LHS value (5) “Status” of each constraint (6) “Slack” of each constraint (Relation between “status” & “slack”)
3.5. How to interpret computer reports and conduct sensitivity analysis? 3.5.2. Sensitivity report (1) Optimal solution for X1 and X2 (2) “Reduced cost” (3) “Objective coefficient” (4) “Allowable increase” & “allowable decrease” for each objective coefficient (5) Calculate the “range of optimality” for each objective coefficient (6) Interpretation of “range of optimality”
3.5. How to interpret computer reports and conduct sensitivity analysis? 3.5.2. Sensitivity report (7) Use the “range of optimality” to answer questions regarding a change in an objective coefficient? (8) What is the “100% rule” and how to use that? (9) “Final value” = “LHS” value (10) Interpretation of the “shadow price”
3.5. How to interpret computer reports and conduct sensitivity analysis? 3.5.2. Sensitivity report (11) “Constraint R.H side” (12) “Allowable increase” & “allowable decrease” for each constraint (13) Calculate the “range of feasibility” for each constraint (14) Use the “range of feasibility” and “shadow” price to answer questions regarding a change in the RHS value (15) The “100% rule”
3.5. How to interpret computer reports and conduct sensitivity analysis? 3.5.3. Summary of sensitivity analysis (1) One objective function coefficient changes. (2) Two objective function coefficients change at the same time -- 100% rule (3) One RHS value changes (4) Two RHS values change at the same time -- 100% rule
3.5. How to interpret computer reports and conduct sensitivity analysis? 3.5.4. Practice questions (1) Practice questions on page 9 of the second LP reading package (2) Practice quiz on our class website (the answer key to the practice quiz will be posted in the website at 1:00pm, Wed., Oct. 24)
3.6. What are some special cased of LP? 3.6.1. Multiple optimal solutions 3.6.2. Infeasible problems 3.6.3. Unbounded problems
No point, simultaneously, lie above line and below lines and. 1 2 3 2 Infeasible LP 1 3
Maximize the Objective Function The Feasible Region Unbounded LP
