Limitation of linear programming


No doubt with linear programming , we can calculate optimum solution of our business problems , but there are several problems or limitations in this techniques :-

  1. For calculation solution it is necessary that variables must be related with each other but when we see in real world , then we get no such relations .
  2. Uncertainty is forgotten in this techniques but in real world we see uncertainty in every work
  3. This is the day of fluctuations , so there is not constant rate of cost or rate of profit or rate of sale in business . So calculating of solution with this technique is very difficult .
  4. Every business has own problem which is different from other business so solution of one business problem can not same apply on other business . So solution of problem is time consuming .
