been asked by the general manager to conduct an analysis seeking maximum profit under current production constraints. The company is seeking a banner year to obtain leverage for refinancing long-term debt (Render et al, 2012, p. 300). Using linear programming, we can assess the max profit potential while taking into account a series of identified constraints.

revenue. If the quantity you want to optimize (here, profit) and the constraint conditions (more on them later) are linear, then the problem can be solved using a special organization called linear programming. Linear programming enables industries and companies to find optimal solutions to economic decisions. Generally, this means maximizing profits and minimizing costs. Linear programming is most commonly seen in operations research because it provides a “best” solution, while considering all the
