SIMPLEX METHOD

Question 1

Is an analytical method for solving linear programming problems, capable of solving more complex models than those solved by the graphical method, without restriction on the number of variables and with a greater capacity for sensitivity analysis.

Answer 1

The Simplex Method.

Question 2

The development of the Simplex Method computations is facilitated by imposing two requirements on the Linear Programming Model, such as:

Answer 2

1. All the constraints are equations with non negative right-hand side.
2. All the variables are nonnegative.

Question 3

This method always starts at the origin where all the decisions variables are zero.

Answer 3

The Simplex Method.

Question 4

Rather than enumerating all the basic solutions (corner points) of the Linear Programming problem, this Method investigates only a “select few” of these solution.

Answer 4

The Simplex Method.
