Problem Scenario: The ORSA MAC Widget Company produces three different widgets for use in ORSA MAC Math Programming Exams. The three widgets have resource requirements as follows:

	Resource Requirements
	Labor (hr/unit)	Materials (lb/unit)	Profit ($/unit)
Widget 1	5	4	3
Widget 2	2	6	5
Widget 3	4	3	2

At the present time ORSA MAC Widgets has a normal production capacity of 240 hours of labor available daily and a daily supply of 400 pounds of material.

Management has developed the set of multiple goals, arranged in order of their importance to the firm.

Management has established a satisfactory profit level of $500 per day.
Overtime is to be minimized as much as possible.
Management wants to minimize the purchase of additional materials because of handling and storage problems.
