Linear Programming is a deterministic model in decision sciences. Ths isan optimisation
techrique whereby we consider 2 given business problem and identify the variables
conceming the same. These variables are then used to write down the objective function and)
the constrains forthe given problem station. Under LPP both these are expressed using
the Linear Relationships only. After the formulation ofthe given problem we techniques
