Description
The production manager of a large Cincinnati manufacturing firm once made the statement, “I would like to use Linear Programming, but it’s a technique that operates under conditions of certainty. My plant doesn’t have that certainty; it’s a world of uncertainty. So LP can’t be used here.” Do you think this statement has any merit? Why or why not?
