Lexicographic Goal Programming

Lexicographic Goal Programming (LGP) is a variant of goal programming introduced by Charnes and Cooper in the 1960s. It prioritizes multiple goals in a strict ordinal hierarchy, solving optimization problems sequentially: first achieve the highest-priority goal, then the second-highest while maintaining the first, and so on. This ensures that lower-priority goals are never pursued at the expense of higher-priority ones.
