The document discusses using linear programming and POM for Windows to solve a production problem. It finds the optimal solution is to produce 10 nuts and 12 bolts for a profit of $1,360. The dual solution shows the marginal value of each additional constraint: an extra labor hour increases profit by $16, extra steel stock does not change profit, and increasing nut requirements decreases profit by $24.

Data Input
Primal and Dual Solution
Primal: Produce 10 nuts and 12 bolts giving us a profit of
$1,360 [40(10) + 80(12)] Dual: Marginal values of each constraint: One additional Labor hour would increase profit by $16. One additional Ton of Steel Stock wouldnt change profit. Increasing requirement of Nuts would decrease Profit By $24.
