Simplex Method – a remarkably efficient solution procedure, is available for solving linear programming problems of
even enormous size.
Pro
Solution – any specification of values for decision variables regardless of whether it is a desirable or even an allowable
choice.
Feasible Solution – is a solution for which all constraints are satisfied.
Infeasible Solution – is a solution for which at least one constraint is violated.
The feasible region is the collection of all feasible solutions.
Optimal Solution – is a feasible solution that has the most favorable value of the objective function. The most favorable
value is the largest value if the objective function is to be maximized, whereas it is the smallest value if the objective
function is to be minimized.
Corner – point feasible (CPF) solution - is the solution that lies at a corner of the feasible region.

Step 1: Determine the entering basic variable by selecting the variable (automatically a nonbasic variable) with the
negative coefficient having the largest absolute value (i.e., the “most negative” coefficient) in Eq. (0). Put a box around
the column below this coefficient, and call this the pivot column.
Step 2: Determine the leaving basic variable by applying the minimum ratio test.
Step 3: Solve for the new BF solution by using elementary row operations (multiply or divide a row by a nonzero
constant; add or subtract a multiple of one row to another row) to construct a new simplex tableau in proper form from
Gaussian elimination below the current one, and then return to the optimality test.
