Reaching Optimal Solution can be done by trial & error to solve the
model until a “best” solution is reached which does not violate the
constraints of the model. This is called Feasible Decision.
After a model solution has been obtained, the manager and his
assistance should examine the validity of the model by conducting
small test problems before implementing the model in real
applications.
An important part of the problem analysis is the preparation of
managerial reports based on the model’s solution.
