Is it true that we will always be dealing with only two products that the company is producing in linear programming questions in the exam?
The definition of linear programming says that ‘it can deal with two or more limiting factors’ but there will always be two products with two or more than two limiting factors?
In your example, we have three limiting factors such as limited materials in kilos; limited labor hours; limited demand for executive chairs?
Is that correct?
As I explain in my lectures, it is possible using a method called simplex to deal with any number of products. However that method is not in the syllabus for Paper PM and in the exam you can only be asked situations where there are only two products (although there can be any number of limiting factors).
