Chapter 14.S, Problem 2Q
Summary Introduction
To identify: the steps involved in formulating a linear programming model.
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.

- Seas Beginning sells clothing by mail order. An important question is when to strike a customer from the companys mailing list. At present, the company strikes a customer from its mailing list if a customer fails to order from six consecutive catalogs. The company wants to know whether striking a customer from its list after a customer fails to order from four consecutive catalogs results in a higher profit per customer. The following data are available: If a customer placed an order the last time she received a catalog, then there is a 20% chance she will order from the next catalog. If a customer last placed an order one catalog ago, there is a 16% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order two catalogs ago, there is a 12% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order three catalogs ago, there is an 8% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order four catalogs ago, there is a 4% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order five catalogs ago, there is a 2% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. It costs 2 to send a catalog, and the average profit per order is 30. Assume a customer has just placed an order. To maximize expected profit per customer, would Seas Beginning make more money canceling such a customer after six nonorders or four nonorders?arrow_forwardWhat do Linear programming problems involve?arrow_forwardWhat is linear programming?arrow_forward
