presence of restrictions or constraints • There must be alternative courses of action • The objective and constraints in linear programming must be expressed in terms of linear equations or inequalities Objective Function it maps and translates the input domain (the feasible region) into output range‚ with the two-end values called the maximum and minimum values Restriction Constraints it limits the degree

optimization problem in Excel: an Objective Function‚ Decision Variables‚ and Constraints. It is simplest to organize these on paper before you start working with the spreadsheet. For tutorial purposes we will follow an example‚ “The Cargo Problem”‚ from start to finish: A shipping company has the capacity to move 100 tons of cargo per day by air. The company charges $250/ton for air freight. Besides the weight constraint‚ the company can only move 50‚000 ft3 of cargo per day because of limited volume

Constraints are the rules enforced on data columns on table. * ensures the accuracy and reliability * Column level constraints are applied only to one column * Table level constraints are applied to the whole table. * NOT NULL Constraint: Ensures that a column cannot have NULL value. * DEFAULT Constraint : Provides a default value for a column when none is specified. * UNIQUE Constraint: Ensures that all values in a column are different

Using Excel=s Solver Tool in Portfolio Theory Excel contains a tool called the Asolver@ that lets you maximize or minimize functions subject to general constraints. We will use this tool to compute the global minimum variance portfolio and the tangency portfolio for the three-firm example (see the spreadsheet 3firm.xls). The spreadsheet for this tutorial is called solverex.xls. The data for this example are given in the following table Stock 1 2 3 E[R] 0.229 0.138 0.052 VAR(R) 0.924 0.862 0.528

professional or personal life. Question 1: What is the theory of constraints? Response: The Theory of Constraints focuses on making organizational decisions in situations in which constraints exist. The authors illustrate the Theory of Constraints (TOC) in production management. They use the story of "The Goal" to focus on solving problems such as bottlenecks‚ scheduling‚ and inventory reduction. To more accurately put it‚ a constraint is anything in an organization that limits it from moving toward
