Overview Introduction to Linear Programming Building LP models Solving LP models: Geometric Solution Excel (Solver) Solution
Linear Programming Decision models that involve decision variables whose feasible values are bounded by a set of constraints, aiming to maximize utility/profit, or minimize loss/cost.
Modeling LP Problems What are the decision variables? What is the goal (max./min.)? Maximize/Minimize what? What are the constraints?
An Example
