Linear programming is a technique which shows practical problems as a series of mathematical equations which can be manipulated to find the optimum or best solution. Blending is a graphical approach to linear programming which deals with resource allocation subject to constraints. It is a model which assists firms in deciding the best possible utilisation of limited resources. Each resource constraint is represented as a mathematical linear equation. A linear expression is an equation which links

Riuniti is expanding to meet growing demand‚ and we have used outsourcing to keep up. Currently‚ we outsource only coarse and medium-sized yarn‚ but we believe that it would be more efficient to look at outsourcing all types. There are so many potential suppliers and constraints to consider that we constructed a linear programming model to identify our best option and check our solution’s sensitivity to changes in our situation. We’ve analyzed our potential suppliers for each gauge‚ taking into
