What does it mean for an equation to be in "proper form" for entry into QM
|
variables <= numerical value
variables >= numerical value variables = numerical value |
|
Be able to put on objective function or constraint onto "proper form" for entry into QM
|
Be able to put on objective function or constraint onto "proper form" for entry into QM

|
What is the meaning of the values in the "Dual" column in the QM output?
|
(aka Marginal Values)
The $ amount the company would be willing to pay for one additional unit of resource. |
|
What is the meaning of the term "marginal value"?
|
(aka Dual)

|
What is the meaning of the term "sensitivity analysis"?
|
The analysis of the effect of parameter changes on the optimal (model) solution.
|
|
Why is sensitivity analysis important to managers and other decision makers?
|
To see what effect a change in a parameter will have on the solution to the model.
|
|
What is a "sensitivity range" of an object coefficient?
|
The range of values over which the current optimal solution point will remain optimal.
|
|
In general, what changes if an objective function coefficient changes?
|
Optimal solution won't change (although the costs will)
"Remained optimal" |
|
In general, what changes if the right hand side of a constraint changes?
|
Changes in the right-hand-side of constraint equations correspond to changes in the maximum capacity of a process unit or the availability of a raw material (ex.)
