    M5 – Models with Integer Variables<\/h2>\n

    The difference between Linear Programming (LP) models (of previous chapters) and Integer Programming (IP) models (of this chapter) is that the changing cells are constrained to binary values (0 or 1) or integer positive values (0, 1, 2, 3 …. ).\u00a0 This simple difference requires changing\u00a0 the mathematical solution method from the “Simplex technique” to other methods such as the “Branch and Bound” Algorithm.\u00a0 Read the textbook\u00a0sections through\u00a06.2 to understand the effects of changing the solution method on using Excel’s Solver tool.<\/p>\n

    Read the\u00a0remaining sections of\u00a0Chapter 6\u00a0which detail the following IP models:<\/p>\n
