Limited factor

SStylianos10y ago
Hello Sir Regarding chapter 9, example 3 where we have limited factor material B (8,000 kg) 1.What if all products need also material A to be produced and material A has also limited availability? How we work on that situation? 2. Or if we have also limited availability in labor? Thank you.

Then it would become a linear programming problem (which is covered in an earlier lecture).

I see. Thank you. Regarding the notes, I have (already printed) those of Dec '15 since I sit in the last exam and I failed. Is something changed in the new version or I can again study with the previous one? Thanks again.

You can use the December notes - the syllabus has not changed. One thing that we have changed is that the questions at the end of each chapter are now online tests (they are called practice tests and are linked from the main F5 page) rather than being printed in the notes. There are more questions, and more detailed answers appear when you have attempted each question. Also, if you have not already downloaded it, we have a free Study Guide which gives links to all the lectures and lists of the best past exam questions to attempt. Again you can find it linked from the main F5 page.
