Linear Programming..

A travelling sales man can find the shortest routes to save time / fuel cost. The most economic and efficient manner of locating manufacturing plants and distribution centres may be used. Linear programming may be used for effective and efficient production management and manpo..

Limitations of Linear Programming - Linear programming is applicable only to problems where the constraints and objective function are linear i.e., where they can be expressed as equations which represent straight lines. In real life situa..

Some of the methods of linear programming are: The Graphical Method The Analytical Method The Simplex Method In the graphical method, the constraints are actually drawn as straight lines and the optimal solution is found. This method is explained in detail later. The graphical m..

The mathematical models which tells to optimise (minimize or maximise) the objective function Z subject to certain condition on the variables is called a Linear programming problem (LPP)...

The graphical method is applicable to solve the LPP involving two decision variables x 1 , and x 2 , we usually take these decision variables as x, y instead of x 1 , x 2 . To solve an LPP , the graphical method includes two major steps. a) The determination of the solution sp..

Advantages of Linear Programming - The linear programming technique helps to make the best possible use of available productive resources (such as time, labour, machines etc.) In a production process, bottle necks may occur. For example, in a factory some mac..

The linear programming technique helps to make the best possible use of available productive resources (such as time, labour, machines etc.) In a production process, bottle necks may occur. For example, in a factory some machines may be in great demand while others may lie ..

Introduction - The mathematical models which tells to optimise (minimize or maximise) the objective function Z subject to certain condition on the variables is called a Linear programming problem (LPP). During World War II, the military managements in the U.K and the USA engaged..
