Scenario: You are a confectionary manufacturer reviewing bids for the retail packaging you need for your products next quarter under a bid process. You have received one to five bids from each of six suppliers on 10 packaging products.
There are 18 bids in total, reflected in two tables. The first table shows, for each bid, the maximum production commitment for each type of packaging. The second table shows the unit cost for each type of packaging.
In addition to these two tables, you have an array (a one-dimensional array) showing your minimum needs for each type of packaging. You will also see some cells that are shaded but have been left empty.
Step 1: Answer the following questions around this scenario:
What is the objective for this problem?
What are the decision variables for this problem?
What constraint(s) is/are there in this problem? (summarize this using words)
