Advantages and Limitations of L.P.P.
Category : JEE Main & Advanced
(1) Advantages : Linear programming is used to minimize the cost of production for maximum output. In short, with the help of linear programming models, a decision maker can most efficiently and effectively employ his production factor and limited resources to get maximum profit at minimum cost.
(2) Limitations : (i) The linear programming can be applied only when the objective function and all the constraints can be expressed in terms of linear equations/inequations.
(ii) Linear programming techniques provide solutions only when all the elements related to a problem can be quantified.
(iii) The coefficients in the objective function and in the constraints must be known with certainty and should remain unchanged during the period of study.
(iv) Linear programming technique may give fractional valued answer which is not desirable in some problems.
