Computation of soap production using a developed parametric linear programming algorithm

Abstract

This paper critically examines parametric linear programming problem (PLPP) with interval in the coefficients of the objective function and the composition of Plus, Beauty and Nova soap. The finding of soap production in NASCO Company in Jos, Nigeria will be studied and the problem formulated. The formulated problem is tested using the developed computer program by varying the parameter at regular interval and obtaining the corresponding values of the objective function. The interpretation of the results will be analysized.
