3 Tea Blends: Operations Research for current product mix and optimal mix
In the attached excel file, there are 3 spreadsheets.
SCENARIO – If filtration time for Kyoto Blend was reduced by 10%
There are TWO (2) required calculations:
CURRENT PRODUCT MIX spreadsheet – If filtration time was reduced by 1% – 20% for
Kyoto blend, what would be the effects on weekly profits and number of units produced weekly
for all 3 tea blends? Let the solver table show 1% incremental reduction in filtration time changes.
Show any changes in filtration/blending/bottling/finishing times used at each interval.
OPTIMAL PRODUCT MIX spreadsheet – If filtration time was reduced by 1% – 20% for
Kyoto blend, what would be the effects on weekly profits and number of units produced weekly
for all 3 tea blends? Let the solver table show 1% incremental reduction in filtration time changes.
Show any changes in filtration/blending/bottling/finishing times used at each interval.
Basically it is the same scenario to be used on both sheets. It is important to show
all calculations – similar to the Solver Table layout on Optimal sheet for
sensitivity to profit decreases in New Delhi Blend.
