definition of linear programming

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)...

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..

Transportation Problem - Goods have to be transported from sources (like factories) to destinations (like warehouses) on a regular basis. The transportation problem deals with minimising the costs in doing so. Linear programming effectively deals with this proble..

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 situations, whe..
