Formulation of Linear Programming Model By Prof. Dr. Naeem Ahmed Qureshi Professor of Statistics University of Sindh jamshoro Formulation of Linear Programming Model Following are the steps which are needed to formulate a linear programming model: Step # 01. From the study of the situation, find the key- decisions to be made. In this connection, looking for variables helps considerably. Step # 02. Assumes symbols for variable quantities noticed in step # 1. Step # 03. Express the feasible alternatives mathematically in terms of variables. Feasible alternatives are those which are physically, economically and financially possible. Formulation of Linear Programming Model (continue…….. Step # 04. Mention the objective quantitatively and express it as a linear function of variables. Step # 05. Put into words the influencing factors or constraints. These occur generally because of constraints on availability (resources) or requirements (demands). Express these constraints also as a linear equalities/ inequalities in terms of variables.
