The Calhoun Textile Mill is in the process of deciding on a production schedule. It wishesto know how to weave the various fabrics it will produce during the coming quarter. Thesales department has confirmed orders for each of the 15 fabrics produced by Calhoun.These demands are given in the following table. Also given in this table is the variablecost for each fabric. The mill operates continuously during the quarter: 13 weeks, 7 daysa week, and 24 hours a day.There are two types of looms: dobbie and regular. Dobbie looms can be used to makeall fabrics and are the only looms that can weave certain fabrics, such as plaids. The rateof production for each fabric on each type of loom is also given in the table. Note that ifthe production rate is zero, the fabric cannot be woven on that type of loom. Also, if afabric can be woven on each type of loom, then the production rates are equal. Calhounhas 90 regular looms and 15 dobbie looms. For this problem, assume the time requirementto change…
