The Interactive Method: A New Approach to Solving a Kind of Mixed Integer Programming

Porduction planning often comes up in the form of programming problem with continuous variables, where investment project planing usually reduces to cero-one programming. Combination of the choices of investment projects with the existent production capacity, therefore, yields mixed integer programming. With this background, this paper provides a new approach to solving mixed integer programming problems by combining the man-machine interactive method for multiobjective programming with graphics generating techniques.
