414 Pages Indexed. No defects noted and interior text and illustration pages are near flawless. This book is designed to give the student an intuitive, yet in-depth, comprehension of linear programming. More specifically, the goals of the book are: To provide the student with an understanding of the linear programming model-what it is, where it can be applied, how and why it works, and what information can be gained from the use of the model; To illustrate the breadth of possible model interpretation and, thereby, move the student far beyond the basic make 12 of these and 18 of those stage; and to establish a framework for an objective problem-analysis and a realistic appreciation of the role that the model may fulfill in the decision process. Few books, and particularly those that are practical rather than theoretical in orientation, emphasize sensitivity analysis and other aspects of model interpretation to the extent that this book does. Everyday problems which are encountered in building a model-such as costing, developing constraint parameters, and coming to grips with multiple objectives-are unique points of emphasis. The book not only makes use of a wide variety of basic problems but it contains an entire section of situational problems. It extends the topical coverage of most introductory linear programming texts to include both goal programming and integer programming. Seller Inventory # 18930
