Product Details

An MBA student attempts to use linear programming to help his family reduce feeding costs on their dairy farm. The objectives of the case include practice at formulating linear-programming problems (in particular, deciding what level of detail is appropriate) and recognizing that insights gained from building linear-programming models often exceed the original intent.
