Application of Linear Programming for Optimal Use of Raw Materials in Bakery

This is about utilization the concept of Simplex algorithm; a method of linear programming for allocating raw materials to corresponding variables (big loaf, giant loaf and small loaf) in bakery to maximize the profit. The analysis is made and the result shows that 962 units of small loaf, 38 units of big loaf and 0 unit of giant loaf shall be produced respectively for a profit of N20385.It was observed from the analysis that small loaf, followed by big loaf contribute objectively to the profit. So, more of small loafs and big loafs are required to be produced and sold for maximization of profit.
