technique designed to help managers in planning & decision
making related to resource allocation.

Requirements:

 Constraints limit the degree to which the objective can be

obtained
 There must be alternatives available
 Mathematical relationships are linear

COMMON LP APPLICATIONS

resources
● Maximize profit based on the profit contribution per
unit of each product
