Sensitivity Analysis - Parking Lot Size Section 1

The amount of unused length in the main rectangle:

LengthI = 180'

Current Length Used = I * SLength = 11 * 16' = 176'

Current Unused Length = LengthI - Current Length Used = 180' - 176' = 4'

Therefore, one can decrease the lot length by up to 4' or increase the lot length by up to 12' (16'-4') in the main rectangle without changing the optimal solution.

The amount of unused length in the edges:

LengthI = 180'

Current Length Used = I * SWidth = 22 * 8' = 176'

Current Unused Length = LengthI - Current Length Used = 180' - 176' = 4'

Therefore, one can decrease the lot length by up to 4' or increase the lot length by up to 4' (8' - 4') in the edges without changing the optimal solution.

The amount of unused width:

WidthJ = 346'

Current Width Used = J * SWidth = 43 * 8' = 344'

Current Unused Width = WidthJ - Current Width Used = 346' - 344' = 2'

Therefore, one can decrease the lot width by up to 2' or increase the lot width by up to 6' (8' - 2') without changing the optimal solution.

Conclusion:

One can decrease the lot length by 4', increase the lot length by 4', decrease the lot width by 2' or increase the lot width by 6' without changing the optimal solution.
