Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A factory needs to optimize its production over 12 months, encountering fluctuating demand from 500 to 800 units per month. Given the costs associated with hiring, firing, and storage, formulate a linear program that ensures all solutions yield integer workers needed for production.

💡 Hint: Think about how rounding may affect your labor costs.

Question 2

A local pizza shop needs to analyze its staffing based on varying customer demand. Analyze how ILP can provide insights while preventing fractional staffing solutions. What might the implications be on staffing costs?

💡 Hint: Reflect on staffing decisions based on integer constraints and potential impacts.
