CHAPTER 1 Decision-Making and Quantitative Techniques
Components of an LPP • Objective Function • To maximise or minimise • Constraints • Involving ≤, =, or ≥sign • Non-negativity Condition • Variables to be non-negative Quantitative Techniques in Management by N.D.Vohra
Assumptions underlying Linear Programming • Proportionality • Additivity • Continuity • Certainty • Finite Choices Quantitative Techniques in Management by N.D.Vohra
Graphic Solution to LPPs • Plot constraints • Mark feasible region which should be a convex set • Evaluate corner points/use iso-profit or iso-cost lines to get optimal solution • Redundant constraints • Binding constraints • Non-binding constraints Quantitative Techniques in Management by N.D.Vohra
Solutions to LPPs • Unique Optimal Solution • Multiple Optimal Solutions • Infeasibility: No feasible solution • Unbounded Solution Quantitative Techniques in Management by N.D.Vohra
