cost quantity profit quantity Economies of Scale • Related to piecewise linear functions • costs are concave • decreasing derivative • decreasing marginal costs • returns/profits are convex • Diseconomies of scale are the opposite
Hwk 1 Problem B • Design optimization • price, features, shape, packaging • Civil: price with safety constraint • ME: air conditioning • budgeting • websites: load, reliability • Chem Eng: reaction throughput
Agenda • Network Flow problem • transportation • staffing • Sequential Decision Processes • production problem
x2 x1 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7 x8 x9 The Network Flow Problem c1 • data: • network structure • bounds on flow through each link • cost/profit per unit flow on each link • decision variables: flow on links • constraints: • bounds on flow through links • conservation of flow • max profit / min cost L1,U1 L1 ≤ x1≤U1 x1 - x2 - x5 = 0 min c1x1 + c2x2 + …
Network Flow • Recognize the structure • includes assignment problem • LP • If the flow bounds (Li,Ui) are integer, then solution will be integer jobs machines machines jobs
