Use Excel to solve analytical hierarchy process problems. Describe and solve scoring model multicriteria decision-making problems. After completing this chapter, you should be able to: McGraw-Hill/Irwin 10– Goal Programming Versus Linear Programming Goal Programming (GP) A variation of linear programming that allows multiple objectives (goals)—soft (goal) constraints or a combination of soft and hard (nongoal) constraints—that can deviate, allowing for tradeoffs in achieving satisficing rather than only optimal solutions. GP models are similar to LP models in that both are formulated under the same requirements and assumptions (., linearity, nonnegativity, certainty). GP uses, like LP, graphical methods to illustrate linear programming concepts.
