3. a) Find the optimum solution to the Transportation problem , supply and demand [8M]
and cost elements are
Warehouse
Factory W1 W2 W3 W4 Supply
F1 15 25 45 5 6
F2 65 5 35 55 9
F3 35 3 65 15 16
Demand 15 8 7 14
b) Explain the importance of sequencing problem. What are the various methods [6M]
of solving sequencing problems? Briefly explain any one.
4. A factory has a large number of bulbs all of which must be in working [14M]
condition. The morality of the bulbs is given in the following table.
Week 1 2 3 4 5 6
Proportion of bulbs failing 0.1 0.15 0.25 0.35 0.12 0.03
during the week
If a bulb fails in service, it costs Rs4.0 to replace but if all bulbs are replaced at
a time it costs Rs 1.50 each. Find the optimum group replacement policy.
(Assume 500 bulbs are available initially).
