AutoIgnite produces electronic ignition systems for automobiles at a plant in Cleveland,

Ohio. Each ignition system is assembled from two components produced at AutoIgnites
plants in Buffalo, ew !or", and #ayton, Ohio. $he Buffalo plant can produce %&&& units
of component ', '&&& units of component %, or any combination of the two components
each day. (or instance, )&* of Buffalos production time could be used to produce component
' and +&* of Buffalos production time could be used to produce component %, in
this case, the Buffalo plant would be able to produce &.)-%&&&. / '%&& units of component
' each day and &.+-'&&&. / +&& units of component % each day. $he #ayton plant
can produce )&& units of component ', '+&& units of component %, or any combination of
the two components each day. At the end of each day, the component production at Buffalo
and #ayton is sent to Cleveland for assembly of the ignition systems on the following
wor" day.
a. (ormulate a linear programming model that can be used to develop a daily production
schedule for the Buffalo and #ayton plants that will ma0imi1e daily production of ignition
systems at Cleveland.
b. (ind the optimal solution.
