Environment as an Operations Objective The purpose of this assignment is to consider the Environment as an Operations Objective. The article proposes an idea of how organizations should consider five objectives versus four‚ which is the more traditional approach to operations management. It is suggested that the fifth objective be an Environmental objective‚ adding to the four key performance objectives of cost‚ quality‚ time‚ and service. Importance of the Environmental Objective Why is the environmental

Objective function of firm: y-w-β+κ‚ for which β=ũy‚κ=dka Production Function: y=ka The objective function of firm has been added two functions based on the basic model‚ -β and +κ‚ showing the cost and the benefit of non monetary rewards respectively. They are allocated in the firm’s objective function‚ because the firm is the sender of the rewards‚ which the firm will have a cost and benefit of the reward from the worker. β is a negative function‚ since it is the cost of non monetary rewards

programming problem is one that seeks to maximize an objective function subject to constraints. If both the objective function and the constraints are linear‚ the problem is referred to as a linear programming problem. 2. Linear functions are functions in which each variable appears in a separate term raised to the first power and is multiplied by a constant (which could be 0). 3. Linear constraints are linear functions that are restricted to be "less than or equal
