INTRODUCTION
• Linear programming is a mathematical model through which the best outcome whether it
to maximize profit or minimize costs is achieved by representing the linear relationships
between objective function and constraints.
• In this presentation, by applying the linear programming model, the number of each class
of containers to be used by Leach Distributors for packaging during standard shipment
will be determined.
