RESTAURANT CREW ASSIGNMENT. Burger Boy Restaurant is open from 8:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. daily. In addition to the hours of business, a crew of workers must arrive one hour early to help set up the restaurant for the day’s operations, and another crew of workers must stay one hour after 10:00 P.M. to clean up after closing. Burger Boy operates with nine different shifts:

Burger Boy wants at least 40% of all employees at the peak time periods of 11:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. and 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. to be full-time employees. At least two full-time employees must be on duty when the restaurant opens at 7:00 A.M. and when it closes at 11:00 P.M.

 • Formulate and solve a model Burger Boy can use to determine how many employees it should hire for each of its nine shifts to minimize its overall daily employee costs.
