LINEAR PROGRAMMING SIMPLEX
METHOD

Linear programming can be defined as


a technique that is used for optimizing a linear
function in order to reach the best outcome.
This linear function or objective function
consists of linear equality and inequality
constraints.
We obtain the best outcome by
minimizing or maximizing the
objective function.

Applications of Linear Programming
Linear programming is used in several real-world
applications. It is used as the basis for creating
mathematical models to denote real-world relationships. Some
applications of LP are listed below:
• Manufacturing companies make widespread use of linear
programming to plan and schedule production.
• Delivery services use linear programming to decide the shortest
route in order to minimize time and fuel consumption.
• Financial institutions use linear programming to determine the
portfolio of financial products that can be offered to clients.

Linear Programming Formula
• A linear programming problem will consist of
decision variables, an objective function,
constraints, and
non-negative restrictions.
• The decision variables, x, and y, decide the
output of the
LP problem and represent the final solution.
• The objective function, Z, is the linear function
that needs to be optimized (maximized or
minimized) to get the solution.
• The constraints are the restrictions that are
imposed on
the decision variables to limit their value.
• The decision variables must always have a non-
negative

• How to Solve Linear Programming Problems?


• The most important part of solving linear programming problem is to first
formulate the problem using the given data. The steps to solve linear
programming problems are given below:

• Step 1: Identify the decision variables.


• Step 2: Formulate the objective function. Check whether the function needs
to be minimized or maximized.
• Step 3: Write down the constraints.
• Step 4: Ensure that the decision variables are greater than or equal to 0.
(Non-negative restraint)
• Step 5: Solve the linear programming problem using either the simplex or
graphical method.
