1 Introduction to Management Science (8th Edition, Bernard W. Taylor III) Chapter 9 Integer Programming Chapter 9 - Integer Programming 1

2 Chapter Topics Integer Programming (IP) Models Still linear programming models Variables must be integers, and so form a subset of the original, real-number models Integer Programming Graphical Solution Computer Solution of Integer Programming Problems With Excel and QM for Windows Chapter 9 - Integer Programming 2

3 Integer Programming Models Types of Models Total Integer Model: All decision variables required to have integer solution values. 0 1 Integer Model: All decision variables required to have integer values of zero or one. Also referred to as Boolean and True/False Mixed Integer Model: Some of the decision variables (but not all) required to have integer values. Chapter 9 - Integer Programming 3

4 A Total Integer Model (1 of 2) Machine shop obtaining new presses and lathes. Marginal profitability: each press $100/day; each lathe $150/day. Resource constraints: $40,000, 200 sq. ft. floor space. Machine purchase prices and space requirements: Machine Press Lathe Required Floor Space (sq. ft.) Purchase Price $8,000 4,000 Chapter 9 - Integer Programming 4

5 A Total Integer Model (2 of 2) Integer Programming Model: Maximize Z = $100x 1 + $150x 2 subject to: 8,000x 1 + 4,000x 2 $40,000 15x x ft 2 x 1, x 2 0 and integer x 1 = number of presses x 2 = number of lathes Chapter 9 - Integer Programming 5

6 A 0 1 Integer Model (1 of 2) Recreation facilities selection to maximize daily usage by residents. Resource constraints: $120,000 budget; 12 acres of land. Selection constraint: either swimming pool or tennis center (not both). Data: Recreation Facility Expected Usage (people/day) Cost ($) Land Requirement (acres) Swimming pool Tennis Center Athletic field Gymnasium ,000 10,000 25,000 90, Chapter 9 - Integer Programming 6

7 A 0 1 Integer Model (2 of 2) Integer Programming Model: Maximize Z = 300x x x x 4 subject to: $35,000x ,000x ,000x ,000x 4 $120,000 4x 1 + 2x 2 + 7x 3 + 3x 4 12 acres x 1 + x 2 1 facility x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4 = 0 or 1 (either do or don t) x 1 = construction of a swimming pool x 2 = construction of a tennis center x 3 = construction of an athletic field x 4 = construction of a gymnasium Chapter 9 - Integer Programming 7

8 A Mixed Integer Model (1 of 2) $250,000 available for investments providing greatest return after one year. Data: Condominium cost $50,000/unit, $9,000 profit if sold after one year. Land cost $12,000/ acre, $1,500 profit if sold after one year. Municipal bond cost $8,000/bond, $1,000 profit if sold after one year. Only 4 condominiums, 15 acres of land, and 20 municipal bonds available. Chapter 9 - Integer Programming 8

9 A Mixed Integer Model (2 of 2) Integer Programming Model: Maximize Z = $9,000x 1 + 1,500x 2 + 1,000x 3 subject to: 50,000x ,000x 2 + 8,000x 3 $250,000 x 1 4 condominiums x 2 15 acres x 3 20 bonds x 2 0 x 1, x 3 0 and integer x 1 = condominiums purchased x 2 = acres of land purchased x 3 = bonds purchased Chapter 9 - Integer Programming 9

10 Integer Programming Graphical Solution Rounding non-integer solution values up (down) to the nearest integer value can result in an infeasible solution A feasible solution may be found by rounding down (up) non-integer solution values, but may result in a less than optimal (sub-optimal) solution. Whether a variable is to be rounded up or down depends on where the corresponding point is with respect to the constraint boundaries. Chapter 9 - Integer Programming 10

11 Integer Programming Example Graphical Solution of Maximization Model Maximize Z = $100x 1 + $150x 2 subject to: 8,000x 1 + 4,000x 2 $40,000 15x x ft 2 x 1, x 2 0 and integer Optimal Solution: Z = $1, x 1 = 2.22 presses x 2 = 5.55 lathes Both of these may be found by judicious rounding, but the value of the objective function needs to be checked for each. Figure 9.1 Feasible Solution Space with Integer Solution Points Chapter 9 - Integer Programming 11

12 Branch and Bound Method Traditional approach to solving integer programming problems. Based on principle that total set of feasible solutions can be partitioned into smaller subsets of solutions. Smaller subsets evaluated until best solution is found. Method is a tedious and complex mathematical process. Excel and QM for Windows used in this book. See CD-ROM Module C Integer Programming: the Branch and Bound Method for detailed description of method. Chapter 9 - Integer Programming 12
