Piecewise Defined Functions, Modeling,
Domain/Range
Your company has three factories that are located in Wichita, Kansas, Seattle, Washington, and
Omaha, Nebraska. Each site produces the same consumer product, but each has a different
set of advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, the cost schedule for producing a given
number of units is different for each plant. All of the unit numbers are for daily production
runs. The company receives orders from its retailers on a just-in-time inventory model, so we
will assume that the entire order must be filled on the day it is ordered.
For each factory, you must first consider the special circumstances and how its cost function is
affected. As the company’s production analyst, your goal is to use your knowledge of the
three plants to decide how each day’s orders should be manufactured so that the company’s
overall cost per unit is minimized.
