Questiоn 2. [35 pоints] Lifeline’s current nаtiоnwide demаnds аre shown in Table1. Managers at Lifeline are designing the manufacturing network and have selected five potential sites- Philadelphia, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Portland, and Nashville. Plants could have a capacity of 200,000, 300,000, or 400,000 units. The annual fixed costs at the five locations and the transport costs are shown in Table 2. Lifeline has a single sourcing strategy such that facilities at a single location supply to a demand location. Where should Lifeline build its factories and how large should they be? Note that Lifeline can build multiple facilities in a location. [10 points] Define all the decision variables and cost parameters that you need to construct the model.
