Introduction To Problem Solving in Cplex

1) The document introduces the steps to solve a linear programming problem using CPLEX: open the CPLEX IDE, create a new workspace and OPL project, write the linear program as an OPL model, and run the configuration to view the results. 2) An example problem is provided to maximize an objective function subject to inequality constraints, including "less than or equal to" and "greater than or equal to" constraints, along with non-negativity constraints on the variables. 3) An exercise problem is given at the end to practice formulating and solving another linear program in CPLEX following the described steps.
