What is the objective function?
A production of 300 units of Twiddle Bugs, an educational toy for children, must be completed within 1 week by BugU Manufacturing. Two production lines are available, each for 30 hours during the week. Production line 1 can produce five units per hour and production line 2 can produce four units an hour. Line 1 costs $50 per hour to operate and line 2 costs $55 per hour. Overtime is available for line 1 at $15 per hour and for line 2 at $12 per hour. Management goals in decreasing order are:
P1: Produce 300 units.
P2: Maximum allowable overtime of 6 hours for line 1.
P3: Cost of overtime must not exceed $750.
P4: Avoid the underutilization of either production line. Assign weights that are proportional to their production capability.
P5: Producing more than 300 units is 1-1/2 times as undesirable as producing under 300 units.

The Boeing Corp is considering building a new aircraft, the 787--larger than the 747 and larger than the Airbus A380. The company's Renton WA Facility, where 747s are currently manufactured, would have to be expanded
Expansion costs are forecast to be $2.5B, incurred at t = 0. Also at time t = 0, before production begins, inventory will be increased by $1.855B. Assume that this inventory is sold at the end of the project at t = 2. The first sales from operation of the new plant will occur at the end of year 1 (t = 1 ). Boeing forecasts sales of 220 planes in each of the two years. The plane will be sold for $130M each. The cost of manufacturing a plane is $115M. Annual overhead expenses are $775M. The construction facilities are classified as 15 year property. When the plant is closed it will be sold for $1B. The company is in the 34% marginal tax bracket. Boeing's cost of capital is 12%.
