CHAPTER 1
Graphical Method
Optimization is a process of either maximizing or minimizing a specific quantity called
objective which depends upon a finite number of variables. These variables can be
altogether independent or related to each other. Depending upon the availability of facilities
in the department or plant, constraints will be formed. Graphical Method at solving these
problems is limited to two dimensions only and the method can be understood by the
following examples
Que:
ion 1:1 Assume that the following speci
problem: - Max 2 = 45x + 40y
Subjected to 2x+y<90
x+2y<80

Solve it by using Graphical Method and slope method.

Solution:
a) The equation of lines can be changed into this form

b) Now plot these lines on the graph:

c) Mark the feasible region as shown in above graph
4) Locate the aa points of feasible region as O, A, B, C, D
e) Find 'x’ and ‘y' coordinates of those points as shown below

Here m and mg are equal but it is important to note that, in maximization of Z value,
we will consider the equations which always have less than or equal to “<” sign, and
not consider the equation ha

> In these situations atthe farthest point, objective function line superimposes over
tone of the constraint lines, so all the points falling on ‘DE’ line will be optimum
> This is the case of alternate solution because the slope of objective function line
is same as that of one of the constraints and objective function line is
superimposing over the constraint line at the outermost point,
