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

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 account their capacity‚ cost of production for each plant‚ and transportation costs (The model and our objective function can be found in the appendix.) Our goal was to allocate spinning production (at Filatoi
