Abstract: Abstract In production economics, we often want to maximize (e.g., output) or minimize (e.g., costs) an objective function under inequality constraints. When restricting the problem to be linear both in the objective function and in the inequality constraints, the simplex-tableau is a convenient way to formulate the problem and to obtain the solution using the simplex method. R provides several functions to obtain the solution of linear programming problems which will be used to solve some exemplary problems.
