Document Summary

Linear programming: assumptions, conditions of certainty exist, proportionality in objective function and constraints, additivity, divisibility, non-negativity, components, decision variables- the unknown values, objective function- the equation to min/max, model constraints- the restrictions to be met, model parameters- coefficients. To validate a constraint, plug in a number that you think would meet the requirements of the constraints and see if the constraint holds true. Then plug in numbers that do not meet the constraint and see if the constraint fails. X1 as % of total production: x1(x1+xn) > : x1 must be equal to 2/3 x2: x1 2/3x2 = 0, units produced of x1 must be more than 5x2: x1 > 5x2: transshipment problem, constraint for distribution center x: x11 + x12 x21 x22 = 0. Inventory constraint: beg inv + production + overtime + subcontracting demand ending inv = 0. Step 1 - assign 1 variable to each axis (x1 = x, x2 = y)

1. The following is a linear programming formulation of a labor planning problem. There are four overlapping shifts, and management must decide how many employees to schedule to start work on each shift. The objective is to minimize the total number of employees required while the constraints stipulate how many employees are required at each time of day. The variables X₁ - X₄ represent the number of employees starting work on each shift (shift 1 through shift 4).
