Linear Programming Is Project Management Use Two Methods-1
simplex method
• No graph
• can solve either two or more than two variables
Step Graphical
1. graphic constraints
2. Shade region (according < or >)
3. Find corner
4. Suitable in the objective function
5. Choose the minimize value if minimum, choose maximize if maximum.
step of simplex
step 1
• Rewrite the problem in standard form
• maximize only
• objective function operation with RSH=0
• Constraints For ≤ equation by (+Si) & For ≥ equation by (-Si)
Step 2
• Construct the table for pivot columns and pivot rows
• choose the smallest value objective of column
• determine the ratio test by divide values in pivot in Column with constant and choose
the row with small value in ratio tasting
step 3
• The pivot must be 1
step 4
• in the pivot columns of other elements is zero
step 5
• repeat steps 2,3 & 4 until there's no negative number in objective row.
Step 6
Take the constraint value & put the in objective equation.
