Inventory of the Wildflower fabric is 3000 yards. Five hundred hours
of production time have been scheduled. Four hundred units of packaging
material are available. Each of these values can be adjusted through
overtime or extra purchases.
Durham would like to achieve a profit of $3200, avoid purchasing more
fabric or packaging material, and use all of the hours scheduled
(overtime is allowed). Give the goal programming model where all goals
are the same priority and weight.
