PRODUCTION PROCESS MODEL

Often characterized by the fact that some of
the products produced are inputs to the
production of other products.

Repco produces three drugs: A, B, and C and can sell these
drugs in unlimited quantities at unit prices P80, P700, and
P1,000, respectively.
Producing a unit of drug A requires 1 hour of labor.
Producing a unit of drug B requires 2 hours of labor and 2 units
of drug A.
Producing a unit of drug C requires 3 hours of labor and 1 unit
of drug B.
Any drug A that is used to produce drug B cannot be sold
separately, and any drug B that is used to produce drug C
cannot be sold separately.
A total of 4,000 hours of labor is available.

 Use linear programming approach for Repco to
maximize its sales revenue.

Decision Variables:
A = units of Drug A to produce
B = units of Drug B to produce
C = units of Drug C to produce
2B = units of Drug A to produce Drug B
1C or C = units of Drug B to produce Drug C

Revenue
= 80 (Units of Drug A less those used to produce Drug B)
+ 700 ( Drug B less those used to produce Drug C)
+ 1000 Units of Drug C
Revenue = 80 (A – 2B) + 700 (B – C) + 1000 C
= 80 A – 160 B + 700 B – 700 C + 1000 C
= 80 A + 540 B + 300 C

SOLVER TEMPLATE:
CONCLUSION:
Produce 2000 units of Drug A, with a revenue
of P160,000.
 Produce 1000 units of Drug B, with a revenue
of P540,000.
 Produce 0 units of Drug C
 The maximum revenue that can be derived by
REPCO is P700,000.
