The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 41, No. 4 (Apr., 1990), pp. 291-297 (7 pages) The Hitchcock transportation problem is perhaps one of the `most solved' linear programming problems ...

Dantzig developed "linear programming" and the simplex method, used to solve complex efficiency problems for large organizations. Stanford professor Keith Devlin offers insight on Dantzig's influence.

Operations Research, Vol. 33, No. 4 (Jul. - Aug., 1985), pp. 803-819 (17 pages) We present methods that are useful in solving some large scale hierarchical planning models involving 0-1 variables.

As the title suggests, I have a problem in which I need to formulate an LP model. I'm supposed to work in Excel and use the Solver Add-in feature.I've done several other problems already, but this ...
