Linear Programming: X X X X X

Linear programming is used to find the optimal solution to modernize plants by minimizing costs. The initial solution selected plants 4 and 5 for modernization. However, the company policy prohibits closing plants in the same state, so the solution was updated to select plants 2 and 3 instead. After a cost revision and reapplying the company policy constraints, the final optimal solution selected plants 1 and 3 for modernization.
