iii. The Constraints
There is always a scarcity of resources such as man, money, machine, material, time, space and others. The availability and usage of these resources by various activities are represented as linear equalities and inequalities in terms of decision variables. An LP solution may be accepted provided these constraints are satisfied by it. Along with resource constraints, one more assumption that act as a constraint is known as “non- negativity” constraint or restriction. As per this constraint, the decision variables can take either zero or positive values.

The diagram below shows the feasible region of the intersection of two lines. This means that any point within the feasible region satisfies all constraints that we established before graphing. Feasible regions make it easier for us to determine the maximum profit and now we know all the possible combinations it’s important to know what point on the graph is going to be the most profitable.
x ≤ 1900 and y ≤ 1400 (Constraints for monthly production of Model S and Model LX)
“Assess own leadership behaviours and potential in the context of a particular leadership model and own organisation’s working practices and culture using feedback from others”
(3 marks) c) Determine the optimal number of bus and train travelers. (2 marks) d) Say a train strike significantly reduced the number of trains available. By how much would the train capacity constraint have to fall for the optimal solution to be altered? (2 marks)
The following steps need to be taken to improve the performance of a system using the theory of constraints approach;
My interest for the Attorney Advisor position with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) arises from my longstanding commitment to constantly improve myself. I have always enjoyed legal research, writing, and the complexities of intellectual property. I have no doubt that my enthusiasm to research, my eagerness to learn, and my strong ability to communicate clearly, work efficiently, accurately, and quickly, will make me an invaluable asset to the USPTO. I believe these traits combined with my unique skillset, developed as a result of experiences working for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (Diamondbacks), Nike Inc. (Nike), and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, Liability Management Department (AG Office)
The data sets for problems 5 and 6 can be found through the Pearson Materials in the Student Textbook Resource Access link, listed under Academic Resources. The data is listed in the data file named Lesson 20 Exercise File 1. Answer Exercises 5 and 6 based on the following research problem:
If Hanson’s belief of a strong military is sincere, then innovative thinking in a collaborative approach to the defense of the nation is needed. In the case of calendar year 2013, moving 80% of the defense budget to "butter" related activities would reduce defense spending by $386 billion dollars. This would therefore allow for defense related activities to be focused on appropriately.
15) Which of the following statements the use of decision trees in multi-stage decision making problems is FALSE?
Sycamore Community School District 427 is a well rounded school district for the amount of ELs that are within the community. With the small number of ELs, it poses a challenge on the administration on how to best service the student body to give them the best educational experience possible to help them thrive inside and outside of school. The school demographics being majority white and English speaking, and the ELs of a very diverse background, poses a challenge on creating two-way dual language programs in the district which would benefit the students most. According to The Bilingual Advantage, “Even if children and adolescents are not fully proficient in their primary language, enabling students to use their

When considering operational constraints we looked at people, location, premises, equipment, money, materials, other related activities and services.
All societies always having the economic problem and the problem is of how to make the best use of resources, limited or scarce. It is exists because of the resources available to satisfy the wants and needs which is limited even though the wants and needs of people are endless. To match the limited resources to the unlimited the wants and needs is the main of economic problem.
