A technique that helps in attaining the optimum use of productive resources. It also indicates how a decision - maker can employ his productive factors effectively by selecting and distributing (allocating) these resources, which one or more of the decision variables has to take on an integer value in the final solution.Group of answer choicesMinimizationMaximizationLinear Programming ModelOptimizationInteger Programming PreviousNext
