OverviewFor this assignmnet students are expected to study the production and shipping costs of a potato manufacturer and formulate a Linear Programming model representing the problems, to implement the model on a spreadsheet, to optimise the solution and to write a report discussing the recommendations to the problem.Students are required to complete two components: A Word file, for the report containing the details of the model (including writing the objective function), the solution and the recommendations to the problem. And an Excel file for the model using Solver.The problem is documented in the attached screen capture.
