An agricultural mill produces a different meal for cattles, sheep and chicken by mixing the following raw ingredients: corn, limestone, soyabeans and fishmeal. This ingredients contain the following nutrients: vitamins, protein, calcium and crude fat in the following quantities:
Nutrients k
Ingredients: Vitamin Protein Calcium Crude fat
Corn 8 10 6 8
Limestone 6 5 10 6
Soyabeans 10 12 6 6
Fish meals 4 18 6 9
Let aik= quantity of nutirnt k per kg of ingredient i
CONSTRAINTS: The meal has contract for the following:
Cattle= 10000 kg
demand dj Sheep= 6000 kg
Chicken= 8000kg
There are limited availabilities of the raw ingredients:
Corn= 6000kg
Supply Si Limestone= 10000kg
Soyabeans= 4000kg
Fishmeal= 5000kg
the different feeds have quality bound per kg
Vitamin Protein Calcium Crude fat
min max min max min max min max
Cattle 6 - 6 - 7 - 4 8
Sheep 6 - 6 - 6 - 4 8
chicken 4 6 6 - 6 - 4 8
The above value represent bounds: Ljk and Ujk
Cost per kg of ingredients is as follows:
Corn = N20
Limestone= N12
Soyabeans= N24
Fishmeal= N12
Formulate problem has a linear programming whose solution yields desired feed production levels at minimum cost.
DATA
dj = demand for product j (kg)
Si = supply of ingredient i (kg)
Ljk = lower bound on number of nutrients of type k per kg of product j
Ujk = Upper bound on number of nutrient of type k per kg of product j
Ci = cost per kg of ingredient i
aik = number of nutrients k per kg of ingredients i
DECISION VARIABLES
Xij = amount (kg) of ingredient i used in producing product j
demand for product j (kg)
