Linear programming (LP) is a sophisticated mathematical method used to determine the best outcome—such as maximizing profit or minimizing cost—within a model characterized by linear relationships and specific requirements. In the context of resource allocation, LP models serve as a critical tool for distributing limited resources (like labor, materials, and capital) among competing activities to achieve optimal efficiency.
