How can mathematical optimization be used to measure the efficiency of an organization? Find out in this example, where you’ll learn how to formulate an Efficiency Analysis model as a linear programming problem using the Gurobi Python API and then generate an optimal solution with the Gurobi Optimizer.
This model is example 22 from the fifth edition of Model Building in Mathematical Programming by H. Paul Williams on pages 278-280 and 335-336.
This example is at the intermediate level, where we assume that you know Python and the Gurobi Python API and that you have some knowledge of building mathematical optimization models.
