OPERATIONS RESEARCH
Note: Answer all questions. Kindly note that answers for 10 marks questions should be approximately of 400 words. Each question is followed by evaluation scheme.

Question1. Define various Characteristics & Scope of operations research
Answer:
Characteristics of operations research:
·         OR is system-oriented. OR scrutinises the problem from an organisation’s perspective. The results can be optimal for one part of the system, while the same can be unfavourable for another part of the system.
·         OR imbibes an



2 a. Elaborate various Rules for Writing a Dual Problem in linear programming.
Answer:
Consider the following linear programming problem:
Maximise Z = c1x1 +c2x2 + . . . +cnxn
Subject to the constraints
a11 x1 + a12

b. An organisation produces X1 and X2 units of products R and S, respectively. In this case, the objective function and constraints are expressed as follows:
Maximise                        Z = 60X1 + 120X2
 Subject to,                     3X1 + 6X2   ≤   240         Raw material constraint                    
                                          2X1 + 4X2   ≤   800        Labour hours constraint             
                                          X1, X2         ≥   0            Non-negativity condition
Use graphical method to determine how many units of products R and S the organisation should produce to maximise its profits.

Answer 2(b) - Here,
We have to maximise Z = 60X1 + 120X2
Subject to


Question3.a. Explain the concept of Trans-shipment.
Answer3(a). Transhipment is the act of off-loading a container from one ship and loading it onto another ship. In any service operated by any line there are practical restrictions in terms of coverage of ports.. There is no shipping line that can cover all ports around the world on a single service and therefore the

b. Solve the following transportation problem using Vogel’s Approximation method.
Answer:
olution:
TOTAL no. of supply constraints : 3
TOTAL no. of demand constraints : 4
Problem

Question4. The processing time of four jobs and five machines (in hours, when passing is not allowed) is given in following table
a. Find an optimal sequence for the above sequencing problem.
b. Calculate minimum elapsed time & idle time for machines A, B, C, D & E.
Answer1.

Question5. Define following criteria’s used for decision making under Uncertainty
a. Optimism (maximax or minimin) criterion

Answer 5(a).
Maximax (Optimist)
The maximax looks at the bes


b. Pessimism (maximin or minimax) criterion

Answer5(b).

Maximin (Pessimist)
The maximin

c. Equal probabilities (Laplace) criterion

Answer5(c).
Laplace criterion is also called as law of equal probabilities criterion or criterion of rationality, since probability of states of nature are not known it is assumed that all states of nature will occur in equal probability

d. Coefficient of optimism (Hurwicz) criterion



Answer5(d).

A compromise between the maximax and maximin criteria. The decision maker is neither totally optimistic (

e. Regret (salvage) criterion

Answer5(e).
The minimization of regret that is highest when one decision has been made instead of another. In a situation

Question6. Explain the following:
a. Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)

Answer 6(a).
Economic order quantity (EOQ) is an equation for inventory that determines the ideal order quantity a company


 b. PERT and CPM

Answer 6(b).
PERT stands for Program Evaluation Review Technique, a methodology developed by the U.S. Navy in the 1950s to manage the

c.  Applications of queuing models

Answer 6(c).
Queueing Theory has a wide range of applications, and this section is designed to give an illustration of
