PROJECT PROBLEM:

A “ZTE Corporation” has targeted the potential market in India and decided to sale the most demanding products to telecom companies in Indian market. The company has considered for the production of four potential products i.e. HSD, TAB- GSM, TAB- CDMA and Smart Phone. All products can be majorly obtained by just 4 resources: electronic Component, non-electronic component, battery and assembly time. The composition of the four products in terms of these four inputs is shown in the table given below along with unit selling price of the products:

Table- 1: Data for ZTE Corporation
Resource Electronic Component Nonelectronic Component Battery assembly Time (hours) Selling Price (Per Unit) HSD TAB-GSM TAB-CDMA Smart Phone 3 4 4 3 2 2 4 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 2 $70 $80 $150 $110 Supply 4700 4500 3000 2500

Electronic component can be obtained at $7 per unit; Non electronic component can obtain at $5 per unit, battery component can be obtained by$5 per unit and assembly time cost $10 per hour.

PROJECT SOLUTION

Each resource is available in the limited quantities as shown in the above in Table-1.

2.1 COST CALCULAATION

Cost has been calculated by multiplying with unit of components, e.g. cost calculation for each HSD is $46 (3x $7+2x$5+1x$5+1x$10) and other products so on…

2.2 PROFIT CALCULATION
Table-3: Profit calculation for products
HSD Solution Value Selling Price Cost Price Profit TAB-GSM 0 380 $ 70.00 $ 80.00 $ 46.00 $ 53.00 $ 24.00 $ 27.00 TAB-CDMA Smart Phone Total 0 1060 $ 150.00 $ 110.00 $ 147,000.00 $ 83.00 $ 61.00 $ 84,800.00 $ 67.00 $ 49.00 $ 62,200.00

Profit has been calculated by subtracting the total cost for making a product from its unit selling price. The profit contribution of each HSD is $24(selling price is $70 less the total cost of 3x $7+2x$5+1x$5+1x$10) and other product calculated as same… As per above calculation profit has been calculated for each HSD is $24,each TAB-GSM is $27, each TAB-CDMA is $67 and for each Smart phone is $49. We can assume here H, TG, TC and SP denotes for HSD, TAB-GSM, TAB-CDMA and Smart phone respectively. Now we can formulate the LP model for this problem as under: Maximize profit= $24H+$27TG+$67TC+$49SP

2.3 Constraints for the problem will be:
Electronic component Non-electronic component Battery Assembly Time (in hours) Non-negativity = = = = = 3H+4TG+4TC+3SP < 4700 2H+2TG+4TC+3SP < 4500 1H+1TG+1TC+1SP < 3000 1H+1TG+3TC+2SP < 2500 H, TG, TC, SP > 0

Now we can solve this ZTE Corporation problem through solver, the excel sheet is explained that ZTE corporation should make 380 TAB-GSM, 1060 Smart phone and no HSD cards or TAB –CDMA for a total profit of $62,200.

On the above excel sheet, we can apply Answer report: Here “Answer report” indicates that Non-electronic component and Battery have potential supply of 4500 and 3000 respectively. Only 3940 unit of non electronic and 1440 units of battery are used. It means that additional non electronic components and battery are of no value to ZTE Corporation in terms of contribution to profit, it prove that shadow price is zero. The shadow price is valid for unlimited increase in supply for non electronics component and battery. ZTE Corporation has as many as 560 numbers of non electronic components and 1440 unit of batteries, which has no impact on profit.

ZTE Corporation “Sensitivity Report”:
RAJESH KUMAR VERMA PGCBM-21 SMS ID: 110387 PAGE: 6 6/16/2012

The changes to OFC value has solved in below mentioned range and below sensitivity report indicates that allowable decrease is infinity since the product is not attractive even at current OFC value. Allowable increase is also infinity since there are already 560 units of non-electronic component and 1440 unit of batteries are in stock and on the same time since non electronic components and batteries are non binding shadow price will be zero.

Now we can see the impact of profit if we could increase the supply of electronic component by 500 units and increase the total number of electronic component for 4700+500= 5200 units. We will check the allowable increase column of electronic component in “Sensitivity Report” and verify that the current shadow price is valid or not. As per the report the allowable increase column shows a value of 2800, it means the shadow price is valid. After this we will check the shadow price of electronic component which could be $1 per unit, it means up to additional 2800 unit ZTE Corporation will allow to increase its profit by $1.The impact of 500 unit will increase in profit by $500. The net profit will be $62200+$500= $62700. ==============
