Linear programming: Some unsuccessful applications

Lewis J Corner

Omega, 1979, vol. 7, issue 3, 257-262

Abstract: Linear Programming is a widely used technique with many successful applications to its credit. However, for a variety of reasons it is found that LP often yields disappointing results. Three small industrial problems with obvious LP structure are described, and reasons for the lack of success of the technical approach are discussed. Some elementary but commonly ignored advice on methodology is suggested to potential LP users.
