Sensitivity analysis of linear programming solutions can use trial and error or the analytic postoptimality method.

Analytic Postoptimality

Analysis performed after an optimal solution has been found, to understand how changes to the parameters affect the solution's optimality.

Sensitivity Analysis

An analysis that projects how much a solution may change if there are changes in the variables or input data.

Linear Programming

A mathematical modeling technique used to achieve the best outcome in a mathematical model whose requirements are represented by linear relationships.
