DECISION MAKING MODELS PROJECT
Preferred Plant Site Based on Raw material Procurement Cost
DECISION MAKING MODELS PROJECT
ABSTRACT
ABC LIMITED is a HDPP (High Density Polypropylene) woven sack manufacturing company which caters to the need of cement, sugar and fertilizer producing companies. Due to its increasing market share, the company intends to open up a new manufacturing plant. The company is contemplating over two site options available.
The major raw material that the company utilises is HDPP i.e. High Density Polypropylene which it acquires from various refineries. These are granule shaped substances extracted from petroleum.
Thus depending upon the procurement cost of this raw material for all the operating plants, including the new plant turn by turn, a consensus can be reached upon as to which site would be more profitable.

PROBLEM AT HAND
The company mentioned has 3 manufacturing sites in Ahmedabad, Mumbai & Jhansi. It purchases the raw material from 3 petrochemical industries located in Jamnagar, Mathura & Manali.
SUPPLY LOCATION DESTINATION LOCATION
Jamnagar AhmedabadMathura MumbaiManali Jhansi
Looking at the increasing demand, the company intends to expand its output. Though the company has options to expand its facilities at the present location itself, it intends to be a leader in the western region of the country and hence is contemplating over the site options available other than ones operating.
PROPOSED SITE OPTIONS
Udaipur
Kota
Thus the company plans to choose the best alternative and it intends to do so by looking over the procurement cost of the raw material for all the plant sites including the new one. One should not forget that just the inclusion of a new plant may also change the supply proportions to other plants in a way to arise at the minimum procurement cost. Thus the total procurement cost will be taken into consideration rather than just for the new plant.

The following table enlists the demand of the raw material by various sites:
PLANT DEMAND (tonnes / month)
Ahmedabad 600Mumbai 500
Jhansi 550Latest plant 750
Total Demand 2400
The following table enlists the supply strength from each source:
SOURCE SUPPLY CAPACITY (tonnes / month)
Jamnagar 1000Mathura 800Manali 600
Total Supply 2400
The cost of procuring HDPP raw material for each plant, including the new ones, is enlisted in the following table:
Cost per unit procurement (Rupees in Lakhs per tonne)

SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM
We will start by taking the proposed plant sites one by one.
POSSIBILITY 1:
Ahmedabad Mumbai Jhansi Udaipur SupplyJamnagar 2 4 5 1 1000Mathura 5 5 3 3 800Manali 5 7 3 5 600
Demand 600 500 550 750 2400
Solving the above mentioned balanced transportation problem by Vogel’s Approximation Method (VOM), we get the IBFS (Initial Basic Feasible Solution) as follows:
IBFS
600 - - 400
- 450 - 350
- 50 550 -
Here as m+n-1 = 6 = No. of occupied cells, the solution is NON-DEGENERATE
FORE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENTPage 6
DECISION MAKING MODELS PROJECT
Now using Modified Distribution Method (MODI) to check the optimality of this IBFS, we follow the method shown below:
COST OF OCCUPIED CELLS
Ui2 - - 1 1- 5 - 3 3- 7 3 - 5
Vj 1 2 -2 0
COST OF UNOCCUPIED CELLS
Ui- 4 5 - 15 - 3 - 35 - - 5 5
Vj 1 2 -2 0
NET EVALUATION TABLE
- 1 6 -1 - 2 --1 - - 0
Here, the appearance of ‘-1’ is indicative of the fact the IBFS obtained is not optimal.
Thus to further optimize the solution, we insert a THETA value in the solution table corresponding to the negative value in the net evaluation table and follow the following method:

600 -ᶿ
- -
400+ᶿ
-450+ᶿ
- 350-ᶿ
ᶿ50-ᶿ 550 -
Here we take ᶿ = 50, minimum of all the values in the loop, so that the basic variables does not take negative values.
Thus the next Basic Feasible Solution is:
BFS
550 - - 450
- 500 - 300
50 - 550 -
Again applying the MODI method for optimality:
COST OF OCCUPIED CELLS
Ui2 - - 1 1
FORE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENTPage 8
DECISION MAKING MODELS PROJECT
- 5 - 3 35 - 3 - 4
Vj 1 2 -1 0
COST OF UNOCCUPIED CELLS
Ui- 4 5 - 15 - 3 - 3- 7 - 5 4
Vj 1 2 -1 0
NET EVALUATION TABLE
- 1 5 -1 - 1 -- 1 - 1
Thus as all the elements of the EVALUATION TABLE are positive, the BFS obtained is the OFS (Optimal Feasible Solution):
OFS
550 - - 450
- 500 - 300
50 - 550 -
FORE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENTPage 9
DECISION MAKING MODELS PROJECT
Thus,
OBJECTIVE FUNCTION = Min Z = (550*2) + (450*1) + (500*5) + (300*3)
+ (50*5) + (550*3)
= 1100 + 450 + 2500 + 900 + 250 + 1650
= Rs. 6850 (in Lakhs Rupees)
i.e. [68, 50, 00,000 Rupees]

POSSIBILITY 2:
Ahmedabad Mumbai Jhansi Kota SupplyJamnagar 2 4 5 3 1000Mathura 5 5 3 1 800Manali 5 7 3 4 600
Demand 600 500 550 750 2400
Solving the above mentioned balanced transportation problem by Vogel’s Approximation Method (VOM), we get the IBFS (Initial Basic Feasible Solution) as follows:
IBFS
600 400 - -
- 50 - 750
- 50 550 -
Here as m+n-1 = 6 = No. of occupied cells, the solution is NON-DEGENERATE

Now using Modified Distribution Method (MODI) to check the optimality of this IBFS, we follow the method shown below:
COST OF OCCUPIED CELLS
Ui2 4 - - 0- 5 - 1 1- 7 3 - 3
Vj 2 4 0 0
COST OF UNOCCUPIED CELLS
Ui- - 5 3 05 - 3 - 15 - - 4 3
Vj 2 4 0 0
NET EVALUATION TABLE
- - 5 32 - 2 -0 - - 1
FORE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENTPage 12
DECISION MAKING MODELS PROJECT
Thus as all the elements of the EVALUATION TABLE are positive, the BFS obtained is the OFS (Optimal Feasible Solution):
OFS
600 400 - -
- 50 - 750
- 50 550 -
Here, the appearance of ‘-1’ is indicative of the fact the IBFS obtained is not optimal.
Thus to further optimize the solution, we insert a THETA value in the solution table corresponding to the negative value in the net evaluation table and follow the following method:
Alternate Solution:
Value ‘0’ appears in the bottom left corner. This is indicative of an alternate solution We insert a THETA value in the solution table corresponding to the zero value
in the net evaluation table and follow the following method:
600-ᶿ 400+ᶿ- -
- 50 - 750
ᶿ50-ᶿ 550 -
FORE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENTPage 13
DECISION MAKING MODELS PROJECT
Here we take ᶿ = 50, minimum of all the values in the loop, so that the basic variables does not take negative values.
Thus the Alternate Optimal Solution is:
Alternate Optimal Feasible Solution ( AOFS)
550 450 - -0
- 50 - 750
50 - 550 -
Thus, for OFS
OBJECTIVE FUNCTION = Min Z = (600*2) + (400*4) + (50*5) + (750*1)
+ (50*7) + (550*3)
= 1200 + 1600 + 250 + 750 + 350 + 1650
= Rs. 5800 (in Lakhs Rupees)
i.e. [58, 00, 00,000 Rupees]
For AOFS,
OBJECTIVE FUNCTION = Min Z = (550*2) + (450*4) + (50*5) + (750*1)
+ (50*5) + (550*3)
= 1100 + 1800 + 250 + 750 + 250 + 1650
= Rs. 5800 (in Lakhs Rupees)
i.e. [58, 00, 00,000 rupees]

RECOMMENDATIONS
Given the problem, we have evaluated both the possibilities above. Possibility 1, where in Udaipur is selected as the choice for the new
plant, gives out the cost of procurement as Rs. 68.5 Crores Possibility 2, where in Kota is selected as the choice for the new plant,
gives out the cost of procurement as Rs. 58 Crores Given such a large difference in the cost of procurement, the company would
be attracted towards Possibility 2, thus setting up a plant in Kota Moreover this possibility provides you with 2 options of meeting the demand
of the plants which gives the company as well as the supplier the flexibility to operate.
