three parts: first it will provide a definition of linear programming and its uses, second it will evaluate the critical path analysis and networking planning but also how the critical path can be applied or is used in an organization and finally it will explain the various operations planning and control issues that company faces. Task 1- (A.C.:3.1.) Explain linear programming and it uses. According to slack et all (2013 ) linear programming is a technique that is useful for allocating scarce

Mathematical Optimization: Models, Methods and Applications Final Assignment 06-11-2015 Rasmus pages / 13.137 characters (including spaces) | Part 1 General about part 1 The purpose with this part is to analyze a Single-Sourcing Problem (SSP). A Single-Sourcing Problem of course both has benefits and risks, but I will discuss that furthermore through the assignment. During the assignment I will try to discuss and comment on everything that I do. My code and the answers I receive from www.neos-server

Introduction of Linear Programming (LP) To understand LP , first we need to understand mathematical programming thoroughly. So what is mathematical programming (MP). MP is the branch of management science that deals with solving optimization problem, in which we want to maximize function (such as profit, expected return or efficiency) or minimize the function( such as cost. time or distance), Usually in a constrained environment. The recommended course of action is known as program : hence, the

12 Integer Programming In Chap. 3 you saw several examples of the numerous and diverse applications of linear programming. However, one key limitation that prevents many more applications is the assumption of divisibility (see Sec. 3.3), which requires that noninteger values be permissible for decision variables. In many practical problems, the decision variables actually make sense only if they have integer values. For example, it is often necessary to assign people, machines, and vehicles to
