If the assumption of linearity does NOT hold,what needs to be used in linear programming to determine supply requirements?

A) probabilistic programming techniques
B) stochastic programming techniques
C) quadratic programming techniques
D) graphic programming techniques

Linear Programming

A complex mathematical procedure commonly used for project analysis in engineering and business applications; it can determine an optimum or best-supply mix solution to minimize costs or other constraints.

Probabilistic Programming

A programming paradigm concerned with the development of software and algorithms that reason and infer probabilities.

Stochastic Programming

A framework for modeling optimization problems that involve uncertainty.
