Loosening an inequality constraint means making it easier to satisfy

For a constraint this means increasing the RHS

For a constraint this means decreasing the RHS
Loosening an inequality constraint cant hurt and when it helps it helps less
when you move outside the range for the SP.

Tightening an inequality constraint means making it more difficult to satisfy.

For a constraint this means decreasing the RHS
For a constraint this means increasing the RHS
Tightening an inequality constraint cant help and when it hurts it hurts more
when you move outside the range for the SP..

For a MAX model, help means increase the OF and hurt means decrease the
OF.
For a MIN model, help means decrease the OF and hurt means increase the
OF
