What is Linear Programming
It is a mathematical modelling technique used to solve decision making
problems
Consists of linear objectives and constraints which have proportionate
relationship
The basic components of linear
programming are as follows:
Decision variables - These are the quantities to be determined.
Objective function - This represents how each decision variable would
affect the cost, or, simply, the value that needs to be optimized.
Constraints - These represent how each decision variable would use limited
amounts of resources.
Data - These quantify the relationships between the objective function and
the constraints.
Steps in Application
Identifying problem as solvable by linear programming
Formulate a mathematical model of the unstructured model
Solve the model
