    Mary Kelly is facing a decision problem about how to wash sheets for a summer sport camp over 8 weeks. She models the problem in an Excel spreadsheet with decision variables for buying new sheets each week (Xi), washing at a local laundry each week (Yi), and washing with a friend each week (Zi). The objective is to minimize total costs, subject to constraints on the number of sheets needed each week. Washing at the laundry takes 1 week to finish but sheets can be used 2 weeks later, while washing with a friend takes 2 weeks to finish but sheets can be used 3 weeks later, with 20% fewer sheets each time.

    Summer Sport Camp at State University

    Because Marry Kelly are facing very hard decision, she uses Solver in Excel spreadsheet.
    First, she makes the decision variables and the model of the problem. In the case, there
    are 19 decision variables :
    Xi = buy new sheets where i is the week
    Yi = Wash at the Local Laundry where i is the week
    Zi = Washing by Marry’s friends where i is the week
    The cost of buying new sheet is $10, wash at the Local Laundry is $4 and by Marry’s
    friends is $2, and then we can make the model

    Minimize C (cost) = 10 ( X1+X2+X3+X4+X5+X6+X7+X8) +


    4 (Y1+Y2+Y3+Y4+Y5+Y6) + 2 (Z1+Z2+Z3+Z4+Z5)
    Subject to :
    Week 1 : X1 = 115
    Y1 + Z1 = 115
    Week 2 : X2 = 210
    Y2 + Z2 = 210
    Week 3 : X3 + 0.8 Y1 = 250
    Y3 + Z3 = 250
    Week 4 : X4 + 0.8 Y2 + 0.8 Z1 = 230
    Y4 + Z4 = 230
    Week 5 : X5 + 0.8 Y3 + 0.8 Z2 = 260
    Y5 +Z5 = 260
    Week 6 : X6 + 0.8 Y4 + 0.8 Z3 = 300
    Y6 = 300
    Week 7 : X7 + 0.8 Y5 + 0.8 Z4 = 250
    Week 8 : X8 + 0.8 Y6 + 0.8 Z5 = 190
    X1, X2,…, Z5 >=0 and integer

    For the laundry, it needs a week to finish the washing but Marry deliver the dirty in the
    weekend so that the clean sheets from week 1 can be used in the week 3. And washing in
    Marry’s friend, they need 2 weeks to deliver the clean sheets back and the clean sheets
    can be used in the week 4. 20 % from the washing ( laundry and Marrys friends ) are
    removed. In week 6, we don’t need to wash at Marry’s friends and in the Week 7 & 8 we
    don’t need to wash again because it exceeds the sport camp.
