Question

Linear programming is a mathematical technique designed to help operations managers plan and make decisions necessary to allocate: A. corporate dividends. B. liabilities. C. resources. D. employee bonuses.

Answer 1

C. resources.

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear programming mathematical technique has the goal of optimizing the use of resources with the goal of maximizing profits or minimizing costs.

For this goal, the technique uses a model in which either profits are maximized, or costs and minimized, and includes a series of constraints that determine the amount of each specific type of resource that can be used, or should be used.

For example, if a bakery wants to maximize profits, the lineal programming model would determine how much of flour, milk, eggs, electricity, and labor to use in order to reach that goal.
