Linear Programming Used to obtain optimal solutions to problems that involve restrictions or limitations, such as: Materials Budgets Labor Machine time Linear Programming Linear programming (LP) techniques consist of a sequence of steps that will lead to an optimal solution to problems, in cases where an optimum exists Linear Programming Model Objective: the goal of an LP model is maximization or minimization Decision variables: amounts of either inputs or outputs Feasible solution space: the set of all feasible combinations of decision variables as defined by the constraints Constraints: limitations that restrict the available alternatives Parameters: numerical values Linear Programming Example Objective - profit Maximize Z =60X1 + 50X2 Subject to 4X1 + 10X2 <= 100 hours 2X1 + 1X2 <= 22 hours 3X1 + 3X2 <= 39 cubic feet X1, X2 >= 0 Assembly Inspection Storage Linear Programming Model Objective: the goal of an LP model is maximization or minimization Decision variables: amounts of either inputs or outputs Feasible solution space: the set of all feasible combinations of decision variables as defined by the constraints Constraints: limitations that restrict the available alternatives Parameters: numerical values Linear Programming Example Objective -
