How to formulate a linear programming problem?

In this article, we will explore into sample problems and formulate it as a linear programming problem. We have considered three problems:

Product Mix Problem
Transportation Problem
Flow Capacity Problem

Before we look into linear programming, let us have a quick look at Mathematical progamming, which is a superset of linear programming.

Mathematical Programming

Mathematical Programming is used to find the best solution to a problem that requires a set of decisions about how to best use a set...
