      Thanks for the comment Soldier. In the classroom we sometimes focus on the detailed understanding of the concept and the logic of the method. Here I have been functional. So if you link this to what your professor was teaching, maybe you will see more sense in his methods.

  • @ryankimble2265
    @ryankimble2265 10 років тому +5

    Thank you for sharing this video. It was helpful in reminding me how to use solver.
    With respect, I must say that I think your formulation is incorrect. I think that you need four decision variables (# of chairs made on M1, # of chairs made on M2, # of tables made on M1, and # of tables made on M2). If you do it this way, then the constraint on M1 being less than or equal to 200 hours is dependent only on what M1 produces and not on all of the chairs and tables produced by both machines. I solved it with these extra two decision variables and found a solution of 50 chairs from M1 and 80 tables from M2 (0 tables for M1 and 0 chairs from M2), which results in $4700 in profit. If you check the constraints, you'll see that this is a feasible solution.
    Again, thank you very much for making this video. It really was very helpful!

    • @piyushashah1
      @piyushashah1  10 років тому +4

      HI Ryan, thanks for the feedback. I should have been more clear in the video. I had intended to mention that the chairs and tables have to sequentially go through both machines. So, they first go to M1 and then to M2. With this we need only two constraints. If we assume that either of the machines can make both the products we would surely need four constraints.

    Great explanation but why is the answer only 50 chairs? I get it on Machine M1 has to be less than 200 hours, but on M2 it has to be 400 hours. Wouldnt the solution be to be closer to capacity on Machine M2?

    • @piyushashah1

    The assumption here is that the viewer is convinced that the Linear Programming gives the best (optimum) solution. The video is just about the mechanics. Alternatively, it is possible to input different values of the decision variables (tables and chairs) and check if the contribution exceeds the value arrived at by MS Excel.

      Schurman Orchards has apple trees and cherry trees. The apples and cherries that are grown at Schurman Orchards are used to produce both apple cider and cherry cider. Weekly sales commitments by the owners of Schurman Orchards require at least 50 gallons of apple cider and at least 20 gallons of cherry cider. Schurman Orchards has the weekly capacity to produce at least 100 gallons of apple cider or at least 50 gallons of cherry cider or any linear combination of apple cider and cherry cider. Each gallon of apple cider cost Schurman Orchards $4; each gallon of cherry cider cost $6.
      a. Set up the appropriate linear program
      b. Solve the result of (a) using the simplex algorithm.

  • @farahin1991
    @farahin1991 9 років тому

    sir...just wondering...why the solver did not suggest we make any table since the question objective is to optimize the mix of chair and table?is there anything need to be adjusted in the solver so that both chair and table can be produced and at the same time maximize its profits?

    • @piyushashah1
      @piyushashah1  9 років тому

      +Farahin Hanani The solver always suggests ways to maximise the contribution. In this case, if you produce tables, your contribution is likely to come down. If you have to make tables, add it as a constraint. I think the third video in this series does this. Check it.

    Maybe Ive missed a point, but how can the contribution be maximized when Machine 2 still has 150 available hours? Shouldnt Machine 1 produce 50 chairs and Machine 2 produce 80 tables?

    • @piyushashah1
      @piyushashah1  5 років тому

      Thanks for sharing this concern Marhau. In the case, the chairs and tables need both machines M1 and M2 and not either M1 or M2. So, even though M2 has slack capacity, we can;t produce more since M1 does not have slack capacity. Does this help?

      Create a constraint for the mix ratio. Say the mix ratio is 1:r, where for every 1 chair we need r tables. If c is the number of chairs made and t is the number of tables made then cr = t, or cr - t = 0. Does this help?

  • @charudattajoshi5090
    @charudattajoshi5090 10 років тому

    Piyush Sir, maybe I'm missing something. When I see that M2 can make a table or chair in the same 5 hours time, and table makes makes more money, then M2 should only make tables. 80 tables in 400 hours @ 5 hours each. Total contribution 3200.
    M1 is more efficient at chairs than tables. It makes 1.75 chairs in time it takes for 1 table. If table costs more than 1.75x of chair, then M1 should make tables as well, or else chairs. Since 40/30 = 1.33 < 1.75, M1 should make chairs. 50 chairs in 200 hours @ 4 hours each. Total contribution 1500.
    Grand total contribution 4700. Please correct if wrong. Or if I ended up looking at this in a non-linear way somehow. Thanks.

    • @piyushashah1
      @piyushashah1  10 років тому

      Tables and chairs needs to go through both M1 and M2 to be made. So, a product first goes to M1 and then to M2. If we assume that both the machines can individually make the products, your assertion is correct.

      HI Sarthak, these videos are an introduction to using Excel Solver for LP and thats why simple problems have been used. For your problem, I guess minimising the cost or Ores a,b,...would be the objective. The decision variables would be the units of each of the Ores to purchase. The constraints would be to have the minimum or maximum units or minerals. So, for example Each Ore 'a' has 0.2 units of 'A', and each Ore 'b' has 0.3 units of A then 0.2a+0.3b is the units of the Mineral 'A'. This you have to compare with the condition in the problem for the Mineral A.

    hi sir.. i was just wondering cause when while we tried that at school, there exist answer reports everytime we solve it though solve.. how am i suppose to do that? Btw, you lecture is great.

    Great explanation of how to use it, but I don't think solver has truly optimised the contribution - you still have 150 hrs left to use on M2. If you think about the numbers alone, it's more efficient to make chairs on M1 (contribution per hour of tables is 5.7 rupees/hr vs 7.5 rupees/hr for chair), however it's more efficient to use machine m2 to make tables (tables 8 rupees/hr vs chairs 6 rupees/hr). Thought of in another way, if it takes M2 5 hours to make a table or a chair, and a table gives a greater contribution, you would pick tablets to make.

      Oh yep, I just scrolled further down in the comments. The furniture has to go through both machines, not just one. Thanks @Shrujanam Syama

    Piyush Sir, you also need to add that the number of tables and chairs should be non negative. Is my understanding wrong?

      Correct Manisha. At around @4:44 I talk about non-negativity.

    Piyush Shah is there a little error? You are not maximizing the available capacity of machine M2? The constraint of this whole maximizing function will be always the machine with the lowest available hours and I believe we should separate those two constraints.

    Hi am not sure how its working , if we are making 50 chairs and utilizing all 200 hours from M1. Then number of chairs made by M1 is 200/4 which is 50 chairs , i.e. OP of LP. Then what does the 250 hours from M2 contributes to ? Or does it mean 50 chairs from both M1 and M2 if that the case why not use all 400 hours from M2 ??

    • @piyushashah1
      @piyushashah1  4 роки тому

      Hi Amir, the chairs need both M1 and M2, and not either M1 or M2. Imagine that M1 cuts wood and M2 joins the cut wood. Does this help clear the confusion?
