The use of linear programming to select diets to meet specific nutritional requirements frequently results in an over-supply of certain nutrients. Nutritional balance is difficult to achieve in diets ...

Goal programming is a technique often used in engineering design activities primarily to find a compromised solution which will simultaneously satisfy a number of design goals. In solving goal ...

All of these are "goal oriented" in that you can objectively measure one outcome against another (lowest cost, highest score, etc.), and feed the information from that iteration back into another ...

This example shows how to use PROC LP to solve a linear goal-programming problem. PROC LP has the ability to solve a series of linear programs, each with a new objective function. These objective ...
