Cost Management
Profit Maximisation under constraints

Identify the real constraint in this profit maximisation exercise!
? There are two products : P & Q

2

? The resources required by each and the

process of how resources build these products are described in the Slides 4, 5 & 6. ? You need to figure out what is the best possible product mix to maximise the profit for the week. For which u need to maximise CONTRIBUTION per UNIT OF THE REAL CONSTRAINT!

3
? Product P and Q : Market constraints…only 100 of P and

50 of Q can be sold per week. ? Product P requires RM1, RM2 & a purchased Part all put together worth $45. ? Product Q requires RM2, RM3 together worth $40. ? The diagram shows the way the resources flow in the making of the two products!

Case : What is the maximum net profit?

What is the real constraint?
? See slide 8 for the detailed data sheet…..

? And here is where you will find your queries ?

Where’s the root catch to help us decide how many of P & Q to make and sell?

In case there is a constraint, the option which saves cost per unit of constraint or increases contribution per unit of constraint has to be considered. Though be careful to indentify the real constraint ?
