A small furniture manufacturer produces tables and chairs


A small furniture manufacturer produces tables and chairs. Each product must go through three stages of the manufacturing process: assembly, finishing, and inspection. Each table requires 3 hours of assembly, 2 hours of finishing, and 1 hour of inspection. Each chair requires 2 hours of assembly, 2 hours of finishing, and 1 hour of inspection. The profit per table is $120 while the profit per chair is $80. Currently, each week there are 200 hours of assembly time available, 180 hours of finishing time, and 40 hours of inspection time. To keep a balance, the number of chairs produced should be at least twice the number of tables. Also, the number of chairs cannot exceed six times the number of tables. Formulate this as a linear programming problem. Carefully define all decision variables.
