Question

Applicability of linear programming (LP) to operations problems  Evaluate the statement: “Linear programming models can be applied to the line balancing problem and the transportation problem.” Mark the statement's correctness.

Accepted Answer

Concept The transportation problem is a classic LP. Line balancing can be formulated as an integer/linear program (assigning tasks to stations subject to precedence and cycle-time constraints). Implication Therefore, LP-based formulations apply to b…
