Final Case Study Project CJ foods, Inc is a company headquartered in South Korea. They make three types of sauces for sale to grocery stores located in East Asia. The three types of Korean BBQ sauce s are referred to as O riginal, Pineapple and Hot & Spicy . They are made by mixing different p ercentages of five types of ingredients . CJ foods, Inc., p urchased the following shipment of ingredient s to prepare for the upcoming 2015 prices . The prices and shipment amounts (pounds) are shown in Table 1. Tab le 1: Prices and shipment amounts Type of Ingredients Shipment Amount(pounds) Cost per Shipment Beef Bean Pineapple Hot Pepper Sugar 8000 7100 7100 5800 7250 $6300 $6125 $6750 $8000 $9100 The Original sauce consists of 27% beef , 47% bean, 11% hot pepper, and 15% sugar. The Pineapple sauce consists of 10% beef, 25% bean, 50% pineapple , 10% hot pepper, and 5% sugar, and the Hot & Spicy sauce consists of 15% beef, 20% bean, 40% hot pepper, and 25% sugar . An accountant for CJ Food Inc., analyzes the c ost of packaging materials, sales price per pound, and so forth, and determined that the profit contribution per pound is $1.55 for the Original sauce, $2.1 for the Pineapple sauce, and $2.35 for the Hot & Spicy sauce. These figures do not include the cost of specific types of in gredients in the different sauces because that cost can vary greatly in the commodity market. Customer orders alre ady received are summarized in Table 2 : Table 2: Order requirements Type of Sauce Orders (pounds) Original Pineapple Hot & Spicy 10000 3000 5000 Because demand is running high, CJ foods, Inc., expects to receive many more orders than can be satisfied. CJ foods, Inc., is committed to using the available ingredients to maximize profit over the next season. Using the information given above, perform a linear programming analysis o f th e CJ foods, Inc. product ingredient problem. Develo p a case study report (at least 10 pages excluding table, results, equations, and graph s, etc .) to advise the Pres ident of CJ food, Inc . on the f ollowing issues (at the minimum) : A. Optimal prod uction for each type of sauce in the next season B. Is the purchase of addition al pounds of ea ch type of ingredients beneficial? C.
