Recommended HW and Practice
Note: Solutions to most problems for this class are in MS Excel
spreadsheets--if you don't know how to use Excel, learn! It is perhaps the
most commonly used computational tool for solving business problems
(quantitative problems, that is).

from book
2, 3, 5 and other
location problems from handout
Class
Practice (more practice transportation
model)--will be done in class "by hand."
Problem 3 from the book should be done with the solver. Notice that it
is a profit maximizing problem.
MORE PRACTICE--Marc Smith Construction (by solver in
Excel). Do it
with
the solver for practice. Note that it is a cost minimizing problem.
iteration 1,
iteration 2. The iterations are for the transportation model
approach "by hand." Don't try the "by hand" approach until I show you
how it is done.
