A) "≤" for constraints regarding factory capacity and "=" for constraints regarding demand at warehouses.
B) "≥" for constraints regarding factory capacity and "≤" for constraints regarding demand at warehouses.
C) "=" for constraints regarding factory capacity and "≥" for constraints regarding demand at warehouses.
D) "≥" for constraints regarding factory capacity and "=" for constraints regarding demand at warehouses.
E) None of these choices are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constraints for factory capacity are typically "≤" because factories can produce up to a maximum amount, and constraints for warehouse demand are "=" because each warehouse has a specific demand that needs to be exactly met.
