Problem: In the government contracting industry, linear optimization models are frequently used for various purposes such as procurement, resource allocation, logistics, and cost management. An example of such a model might involve optimizing the allocation of resources for a defense contract to meet specific requirements within budget constraints. A linear optimization model could be employed to determine the optimal allocation of resources among military bases, for example. The variables might include the quantities of various supplies allocated to each base, considering factors like transportation costs, base requirements, and budget constraints. The objective function would aim to minimize the overall cost while meeting the specific demands of each base within the budgetary limits.
