A cоmpаny wаnts tо develоp а location-distribution plan. They are considering up to five plant locations (Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Ocala, Tampa, Miami) to supply three warehouse distribution center locations (Lake City, Orlando, West Palm). The selected plants will ship units to meet demand at the warehouses. The table below provides relevant cost information, plant capacities, DC capacities, and warehouse demands. Per unit shipping costs Warehouse Jacksonville Tallahassee Ocala Tampa Miami Demand Lake City $3.90 $3.30 $2.80 $4.90 $7.10 3500 Orlando $4.70 $5.90 $1.90 $4.20 $6.30 3900 West Palm $6.20 $6.80 $5.50 $3.50 $2.70 4100 Plant capacity 5100 6500 3800 5400 3900 Plant fixed cost $15,000 $12,500 $20,000 $24,000 $19,000 Fixed costs for plants are only realized if they are opened/selected. Prepare an integer linear programming model that, when solved, will determine the plants to be opened and a shipment plan that will meet the demand at the warehouses exactly yet not exceed the capacity limits of the plants. An additional restriction for each selected plant is that it must ship at least 80% of its available capacity. The goal is to minimize the total fixed costs of plants plus the total variable (per unit) costs of shipment.
