Goal programming is one of the most widely used methodologies in operations research and management science, and encompasses most classes of multiple objective programming models. Ignizio provides a concise and lucid overview of (a) the linear goal programming model, (b) a computationally efficient algorithm for solution, (c) duality and sensitivity analysis and (d) extensions of the methodology to integer as well as non-linear models.
