A goal programming problem can be transformed into a series of linear programming problems, each of which has a different objective function and one more constraint than the previous one in the series.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Goal programming involves formulating multiple conflicting goals or objectives, and transforming the problem into a series of linear programming problems with a single objective function for each goal and an increasing number of constraints. Each successive problem in the series adds a constraint that represents the deviation from the ideal goal. The aim is to find a solution that minimizes the deviations from all the goals while satisfying all the constraints.
