Week 7 discussion
DQ1 Explain the importance of correctly stating the
objective function and constraints in linear optimization problems. Using
examples from your professional experience, describe the problems that could
result if the objective function and constraints are not stated properly. Why
did these problems arise? Support your anecdotal evidence with support and
rationale from the readings.
DQ2 Describe a workforce scheduling, a blending, and a
logistics problem facing your current organization or industry. What is being
optimized in each of your examples and why? How do linear optimization
techniques differ from decision tree analysis? Which are more applicable to the
examples you identified? Support your response with rationale from the
readings.
