Chapter 5 Forest inventory and planning units. The aim is to find areas for different schedules to maximize the objective variable while units. The aim is to find areas for different schedules to maximize the objective variable while meeting the constraints. Constant c indicates how much one area unit (hectare) managed indicates how much one area unit (hectare) managed meeting the constraints. Constant cjj according to schedule j produces the objective variable. Constant aaccording to schedule j produces the objective variable. Constant aijij gives the quantity of gives the quantity of constraint i produced or consumed by one area unit under schedule j. Besides the less than orconstraint i produced or consumed by one area unit under schedule j. Besides the less than or equal constraints, the problem formulation may contain equal or greater than or equalequal constraints, the problem formulation may contain equal or greater than or equal constraints. The LP model assumes that the totals of the objective and constraining variablesconstraints. The LP model assumes that the totals of the objective and constraining variables result from adding the respective variables of the activities included in the solution. Anotherresult from adding the respective variables of the activities included in the solution. Another assumption is that the objective and constraining variables are linear functions of the decisionassumption is that the objective and constraining variables are linear functions of the decision variables.variables. The following example helps to understand how to use LP in production planning. A privateThe following example helps to understand how to use LP in production planning. A private landowner has 20 ha suitable for tree seedling production. Growing pine seedlings and growinglandowner has 20 ha suitable for tree seedling production. Growing pine seedlings and growing spruce seedlings are the only relevant activities. Production of s
