Abstract
In this chapter, as an introductory numerical example, a simple production planning problem is considered. A production planning problem having two decision variables is formulated as a linear programming problem, and a graphical method for obtaining an optimal solution is illustrated. Moreover, by considering environmental quality, a two-objective linear programming problem is formulated, and the notion of Pareto optimality is outlined.
