A goal programming problem had two goals (with no priorities assigned). Goal number 1 was to achieve a profit of $2,400 and goal number 2 was to have no idle time for workers in the factory. The optimal solution to this problem resulted in a profit of $2,300 and no idle time. What was the value for the objective function for this goal programming problem?

100

Explanation:

Goal programming is an optimization technique that allows for multiple, normally conflicting objectives and then attempts to solve each goal sequentially to a satisfactory level. In goal programming, differential variables are being used.

Since the goal programming problem had two goals. Goal number 1 was to achieve a profit of $2,400 and goal number 2 was to have no idle time for workers in the factory. The optimal solution to this problem resulted in a profit of $2,300 and no idle time

This means that goal number 2 was achieved since the optimal solution resulted in no idle time. But goal number 1 was not achieved because a profit of $2300 was achieved in the solution instead of $2400.

Therefore, the value for the objective function for this goal programming problem = 2400 - 2300 = 100

answer; the above statement/question is ( true);

1) the stages a new product goes through from beginning to end, i.e., the stages that a product passes through from introduction through growth, maturity, and decline. 2) the time from initial research and development to the time at which sales and support of the product to customers are withdrawn. 3) the period of time during which a product can be produced and marketed profitably.
