A multiechelon distribution system consists of two


A multiechelon distribution system consists of two factories, three regional warehouses, and five wholesale distribution points. Production costs at factories 1 and 2 are $3 and $4 per unit, respectively. Costs of shipping from factories to the regional warehouses are given in table (c), and costs of shipping from the warehouses to the wholesale distribution points are given in Table (d). Factory 1 can produce up to 2100 units per year while factory 2 can produce up to 3000 units per year. Annual demands at the five distribution points are 1400, 500, 1200, 1300 and 600, respectively. It must be decided how much to produce and ship to each regional warehouse from each factory, and how much to ship from each regional warehouse to each distribution point. Formulate this problem as a cost-minimizing linear programming.
