Atwal department store is open daily from 9 AM to 9 PM

5. Atwal department store is open daily from 9 AM to 9 PM. The store has full-time and part-time employees. Full-time staff work 8 hours and either start at 9 AM, 11 AM or 1 PM. For example, full-time employees that start at 9 AM work 9 AM to 5 PM. Full-time staff starting at 9 AM take an hour lunch at noon.

The number of employees required each hour is shown in the table below. Suppose Atwal department store can only schedule up to 20 part-time employees per day, develop a linear Solver model to determine how the company can minimize daily labour costs.

A convex polyhedron is its feasible region. An algorithm for linear optimization locates a point in a polyhedron where an objective function has the largest or smallest value, in case there is existenc...
