List of top Operations Research and Operations Management Questions on Linear Programming

A company must allocate oil produced from their two plants to meet all the demands of two markets. The cost per litre of allocation from plant \( i \in \{1,2\} \) to market \( j \in \{1,2\} \) is denoted by \( C_{ij} \). The market demand \( D_j \), plant production capacity \( K_i \) and \( C_{ij} \) values are given in the table.

Market 1 (j = 1)Market 2 (j = 2)Capacity \( K_i \) (litres)
Plant 1 (i = 1)\( C_{11} = 250 \)\( C_{12} = 280 \)\( K_1 = 500 \)
Plant 2 (i = 2)\( C_{21} = 150 \)\( C_{22} = 180 \)\( K_2 = 600 \)
Demand \( D_j \) (litres)\( D_1 = 300 \)\( D_2 = 400 \)

The company hired an intern to formulate an optimization model to decide on the quantity (\( X_{ij} \)) to be allocated from plant \( i \) to market \( j \), and the formulation is given below:

Minimize \( Z = \sum_{i=1}^{2} \sum_{j=1}^{2} C_{ij} X_{ij} \)

Subject to:
\( \sum_{j=1}^{2} X_{ij} \le K_i \quad \forall i \in \{1,2\} \)
\( \sum_{i=1}^{2} X_{ij} \le D_j \quad \forall j \in \{1,2\} \)
\( X_{ij} \ge 0 \)

The optimal value of the objective function of the linear programming problem formulated by the intern is ______ (in integer).
