Which of the following is not a suggested step when formulating a goal programming model?
A) Formulating problem as a simple LP model
B) Defining deviational variables for each goal
C) Writing goal programming and system constraints
D) Adding non-negativity constraints for functional and deviational variables
E) All of the above are steps for formulating a goal programming model.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the options listed (A through D) are indeed steps involved in formulating a goal programming model. Formulating the problem as a simple LP model is the starting point, defining deviational variables for each goal allows for the measurement of under- or over-achievement relative to the goals, writing goal programming and system constraints is necessary to structure the model correctly, and adding non-negativity constraints ensures that the solution space is properly restricted to feasible solutions.
