Summary Introduction
To determine: the optimal mix of each product on each machine in order to maximize the profit for the tool shop by formulating and solving linear programming.
Introduction: Linear programming is used to obtain the best possible outcome from the given real-world problem which is subjective to constraints and inequalities. It is used to make decisions based on business objectives. It is used in business planning, industrial engineering, and physical science. Express the real-world problem into the mathematical expression to get the optimal solution from the linear programming.

Abbott Manufacturing produces plastic cases for solar photovoltaic panels and has decided to combine orders from customers to increase work order size, and thereby, make one large production run per model type.
Plastic injection molding machines are used to make these parts, and it is time consuming to clean and re-setup the machines between production runs. Each molding machine and operator works one 10-hour shift with
a one-hour lunch break and one-half hour for operator breaks.

Due to increased levels of competition, this company is now increasingly finding it difficult to compete – especially as the larger companies seem to be a little more innovative, agile and responsive to client requirements. Management have noticed that staff, especially the highly skilled ones, are now leaving the company to seek work elsewhere (in these larger companies). This has meant appointing new staff and undertaking a considerable amount of re-training to replace those that have left the company. Apart from impacting on core business operations, ABC Solutions has started witnessing a drop in its profit margin.
