What is the objective function?
 
  A production of 300 units of Twiddle Bugs, an educational toy for children, must be completed within 1 week by BugU Manufacturing. Two production lines are available, each for 30 hours during the week. Production line 1 can produce five units per hour and production line 2 can produce four units an hour. Line 1 costs 50 per hour to operate and line 2 costs 55 per hour. Overtime is available for line 1 at 15 per hour and for line 2 at 12 per hour. Management goals in decreasing order are:
 
  P1: Produce 300 units.
  P2: Maximum allowable overtime of 6 hours for line 1.
  P3: Cost of overtime must not exceed 750.
  P4: Avoid the underutilization of either production line. Assign weights that are proportional to their production capability.
  P5: Producing more than 300 units is 1-1/2 times as undesirable as producing under 300 units.
