Abstract

Decision-making and looking for the best choice are managerial challenges which may have a great impact on the success or failure of an organization. A manager who is familiar with decision-making tools such as mathematical programming can make the right decisions at the right time. Nowadays, with the growth of computational ability, mathematical programming models are increasingly effective in different fields such as transportation, investment, facility location, network design, production planning, human resources management, train scheduling, course timetabling and so on. The most crucial goal of this book is to teach the techniques and methods of formulating real-world problems in the form of mathematical programming models. In this chapter the main components of each mathematical programming problem are introduced, and general assumptions are discussed.
