Modelling and solving an optimization problem in production management using matrices and Simplex. This code comes as a part of my homework assignment for my Computational Methods elective course.
Given a company's cost function and monthly demand estimates, this code models and optimizes the company's operations to meet production customer demand at the lowest possible cost.
Since the domain for some of the cost inputs (e.g. number of workers) has to be integers, a better solution for this problem would use integer progamming - a much harder method of convex optimization. This implementation uses simple linear programming with outputs over real numbers, which is not ideal for the specific context.
