Method evidence record

Multi-objective linear programming

Multi-Objective Linear Programming (MOLP) extends classical linear programming to handle several conflicting linear objective functions simultaneously over a feasible region defined by linear constraints. Instead of a single optimal solution, MOLP produces a Pareto-efficient frontier from which a decision-maker selects a preferred trade-off. It is foundational to operations research and management science for resource allocation, planning, and design problems with competing goals.
