FORMULATION OF L.P.P
FORMULATION OF L.P.P Formulation consists of the following four steps: Step:1 Identity the variables (which are also called decision variables) Step:2 write down the objective function to be optimized (maximized or minimized) as a linear function of the decision variables after identifying the cost co-efficient. Step:3 Note down the constraints on the basis of the conditions regarding availability of time , demand for the product, etc. constants aij’s and bi’s are involved. Step:4 Mention the non negative restrictions which imply that the decision variables can not be negative. Example: 1 A company makes three products X, Y and Z which pass through three Departments: drill, lathe and assembly. The hours available in each department, hours required By each product in each department and profit contribution of each product are given below: Time required in hours Product Drill Lathe Assembly Profit per ...
