Linear Programming (LP) widely used mathematical technique designed to help operation manager's plan and make the decision necessary to allocate resources. It is often desirable to find production level that will produce maximum profit and minimum cost. The production process can be described with a set of linear inequalities which is called as Constraints. The profit and cost function to be maximize or minimize is called as Objective Function. The process of finding optimal level with the set of linear inequalities is called as Linear Programming. In manufacturing problem LP problem determines the number of units of different products which should be produced and sold by firm when each product requires fixed manpower, machine hour, labour hour per unit of product, warehouse space per unit of output etc. in order to make maximum profit. The scope of current study is to determine appropriate method among various LP problems by comparing any LP problem and Goal Programming (GP) problem. Keywords: LPP( Linear Programming Problems), GP(Goal Programming), ILP(Integer Linear Programming), Simplex Method, Dynamic Programming Model.
I. INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of this paper is to give the brief introduction of Linear Programming Problem (LPP) and to look at the three methods say; Integer Linear Programming, Simplex method and Transportation method in solving Linear Programming Problem and find out the method that will maximize profit and increase the productivity. Linear programming (LP) is a tool for solving optimization problems. It is a mathematical modelling "System" which has found widespread uses in providing decision maker with an efficient means for resolving complex operational alternatives. It is applicable to the general category of problems that require the optimization of a linear objective function subject to linear constraints. Linear Programming is a technique used to determine the best utilization of limited resources to reach a desired objective of either maximizing the benefit (Profit) or minimizing the costs. There are many ways to solve linear programming basics but starts from Simplex Method and Big-M Method. After the advancement in operation research field and considering demand in companies there are many other quit types to solve linear programming for single objective problem as well as we can solve for multi-objective problem like Integer Programming (Gomory's cutting plane method), Sensitivity Analysis, Dynamic Programming, Stochastic Programming, Goal Programming and etc. Integer programming techniques have gained a lot of interest in our practical life, we come across many business and production industries which have to usually face problems of economics optimization such as cost minimization of non-economic items that are most vital to the existence of their firms. Integer Linear Programming (ILP) problems belong to a particular class of Linear Programming Problems (LPP). In LPP, the decision variables are assumed to be continuous, but in ILP the decision variables are restricte...
