The methodology can only be used for up to 2 decision variables, since we can not graph in more than 2 dimensions. He only has 40 labor hours available for cutting and 48 labor hours available for sewing. It takes 5 cutting hours and 4 sewing hours per unit for Product 1, and 2 cutting hours and 4 sewing hours per unit for Product 2. Identify feasible solution. Plot objective function.
Objective function is a family of isoprofit lines as every solution on line yields same solution.
By changing the parameters of a binding constraint we can impact upon the solution. The feasible region outlines all combinations of variables which satisfy the constraints, but may not be optimal. Integer LP would be needed to optimally solve for the decision values - which is beyond the scope of this course. That is, no feasible corner point exists to solve the objective function or the feasible region is not constrained. Therefore, feasible solution is outside of polygon.
