variances are investigated, causes found and remedial action is taken. (v) An effective cost control system must not be used as a punitive device, but should be seen as a system that helps managers to control their costs more effectively. (b) Possible problems include: (i) Difficulties in setting standards for non-repetitive work. (ii) Non-acceptance by budgetees if they view the system as a punitive device to judge their performance. (iii) Isolating variances where interdependencies exist. (a) See ‘Planning’

Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) a b s t r a c t In this paper, a new method is presented for optimization of heat exchanger networks making use of genetic algorithm and Sequential Quadratic Programming. The optimization problem is solved in the following two levels: 1- Structure of the optimized network is distinguished through genetic algorithm, and 2- The optimized thermal load of exchangers is determined through Sequential Quadratic Programming. Genetic algorithm uses these values for the

do Maximin Chart – pull out smallest – look for largest of these – this is the pessimistic thing to do Criterion of realism Multiply .06 by largest in each row and add (.4 x smallest in each row) – Hurwicz thing to do Equally likely Multiply .5 by smallest and largest in each row. Large + small = Laplace thing to do Minimax regret 100 – largest in row, 0 – smallest in row. Pull largest out to side and smallest is thing to do.

LINEAR PROGRAMMING FORMULATION PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS 7-14 The Electrocomp Corporation manufactures two electrical products: air conditioners and large fans. The assembly process for each is similar in that both require a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each air conditioner takes 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling. Each fan must go through 2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of drilling. During the next production period, 240 hours of wiring time are available and up to 140 hours of drilling
