Performance Task: Production Schemes
Performance Task Active
In Progress Attempt 3



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.
