2. Exploit the Constraint : Find the
World’s Best Solution to Throughput
For 110 units of P, need 110 (10) = 1100 min. on B,
leaving 1300 min. on B, for product Q.
Each unit of Q requires 35 minutes on B. So, we can
produce 1300/35 = 37.14 units of Q.
We get 110(45) +37.14(55) = 6993 per week.
After factoring in operating expense ($6,000), we make
$993 profit.

2. Exploit the Constraint : Find the
World’s Best Solution to Throughput
 How much additional profit can we make if market
for P increases from 110 to 111; by 1 unit.
 We need 1(10) = 10 more minutes of resource B.
 We need to subtract 10 min of the time allocated to Q
and allocate it to P.
 For each unit of Q we need 35 min of resource B.
 Our Q production is reduced by 10/35 = 0.29 unit.
 One unit increase in P generates $45. But $55 is lost for
each unit reduction in Q. Therefore if market for P is
111 our profit will increase by 45(1)-55(0.29) = $29.

2. Exploit the Constraint : Find the
World’s Best Solution to Throughput
For 110 units of P, need 110 (10) = 1100 min. on B,
leaving 1300 min. on B, for product P in Japan.
Each unit of PJ requires 10 minutes on B. So, we can
produce 1300/10 = 130 units of PJ.
We get 110(45) +130(27) = $8460 - $6000 = $2460 profit.
Check if there is another constraint that would not allow
us to collect that much profit. Let’s see.

Resource requirements for 110 P’s and 130 PJ’s:
 Resource A: 110 (15) + 130 (15) = 3600 minutes
 Resource B: 110(10) + 130(10) = 2400 minutes
 Resource C: 110(15) + 130(15) = 3600 minutes
 Resource D: 110(10) + 130(10) = 2400 minutes
 We need to use LP to find the optimal Solution.

operating expense $6400. How soon do we recover

No Machine but going to Japan: $1345 profit.
Buy a machine B: $2829 profit. The $6400 is included.
Going to Japan has no additional cost. Buying additional machine
has initial investment and weekly operating costs.
$2829-$1345 = $1484  $100,000/$1484 = 67.4 weeks
