Please write a response to the below discussion post. The question was to Discuss how you would use linear programming in a future position in management.
As a manager the goal is to accomplish the goals and objectives of the company with the least amount of resources possible. In doing this managers must be aware of what needs to be accomplished and what measures are at the disposal of the manager and the company to use to accomplish the desired goals and objectives. The goal of managers is to be able to accomplish the goals while saving the company and maximizing the profits as much as possible. This all should be done within the parameters that have been established by the company to do so. Maximizing profits can be very difficult to do when the parameters set are not flexible. Linear programming can be used by managers to use the available resources to maximize profits as much as possible.
