Linear programming problems are like any others: they require first a careful and complete description. Then the procedure of setting up a problem within a framework suitable for linear programming is principally a matter of common sense and simple logic. No theory of setting up linear programming problems exists. One must begin by studying a few examples, trying to grasp their essential features and then attempt to adapt these features to new problems. Although much of this book’s interest rests with the ability to solve linear programming problems and to analyze the corresponding results from an economic viewpoint, one can hardly achieve these goals without the ability to set up the problems properly.
