Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Crime is as old as mankind itself. Since the biblical crime back in the days of Cain‚ societies have emerged‚ laws have been created‚ and prohibitions have been declared but violations of forbiddances have continued. Crime has been with us from the very beginning; it has never ceased to disturb men’s living together (Schafer‚ 1996). Crime has negative impacts in many ways. Its costs and effects touch everyone to some degree. The types of costs

(a) What is linear programming problem? Ans: Linear programming (LP‚ or linear optimization) is a mathematical method for determining a way to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or lowest cost) in a given mathematical model for some list of requirements represented as linear relationships. Linear programming is a specific case of mathematical programming (mathematical optimization). More formally‚ linear programming is a technique for the optimization of a linear objective function

1 DEFINITION OF LINEAR PROGRAMMING (LP) Linear programming (LP) is a mathematical technique used in finding the best possible allocation of resources to achieve the best outcome‚ which is maximising profit or minimising cost. However‚ it is only applicable where there is a linear relationship between the variables. For example‚ the linear relationships between hours of labour and output in a textiles factory means an increase or decrease in labour force has a direct impact on production‚ which

performance of the system. Techniques and tools of operation research: Linear programming: You can use linear programming to find a solution for optimising a given objective. The objective may be to maximize profit or to minimize cost. Inventory control methods: The production‚ purchasing‚ and material managers are always confronted with questions‚ such as when To buy‚ and how much to keep in stock. Goal programming: In linear programming ‚ you take a single objective function and consider all other

scientific approach to managerial problemsolving under such other names as systems analysis‚ cost–benefit analysis‚ and cost-effectiveness analysis. We will adhere to management science throughout this book. Mathematical programming‚ and especially linear programming‚ is one of the best developed and most used branches of management science. It concerns the optimum allocation of limited resources among competing activities‚ under a set of constraints imposed by the nature of the problem being studied

in a regular flow. • Briefly outline the forecastng technique(s) used by the company. Coca-Cola uses the forecasting technique of linear regression using a functional relationship between two or more correlated variables. The relationship is usually developed from observable data and plotted in a graph the two variables regress to form a straight line.The linear regression line is of the form Y=a+bX‚ where Y is the value of the dependent variable that we are solving for‚a is the Y-intercept‚ b
