The objective of goal programming is a solution that:
A)meets the highest priority goal and satisfies all constraints.
B)satisfies all constraints and comes closest to meeting the goals.
C)meets the goals and minimizes constraint violation.
D)satisfies constraints as modified by the detrimental deviations.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Goal programming aims to find a solution that not only satisfies all constraints but also comes closest to meeting the stated goals. This means that it is not enough to simply meet the goals, as there may be multiple solutions that do so; the best solution is the one that satisfies the constraints to the greatest extent possible while still meeting the goals. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
