Solving assignment problem with lpSolve in R

The assignment problem is a classic problem in linear program. If, for example, you have n jobs that need to be manufactured during the upcoming shift (in a manufacturing plant) and you have m machines to produce these tasks, then you want to assign the jobs to machines in an optimal way. In this say you might […]

Solving a simple linear programming problem using lpSolve in R

In this post I show how to conduct simple linear optimization in R. You can also find other posts written by me that look at other linear optimization tasks, suchs as the transportation problem (can be solved with lp.transport), the assignment problem (can be solved with lp.assign) and integer linear programming (also linear mixed integer […]
