E)will balance both demand and capacity.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Linear programming models used for aggregate operations planning are primarily used to establish an optimal (least cost) solution, based on a total cost formula as a linear objective function. While these models can balance both demand and capacity, their primary purpose is to find the least costly production plan.
