DECISION MAKING
Decision Making Where Constraints Exist
• Where there are limited resources available (material,
labour hours, machine hours, etc) a constraint could exist
which prevents a company from manufacturing their full

• The primary objective, obviously, is to maximise profits.
Profits are maximised by maximising contribution or
marginal income. The question is , how one maximises
contribution when faced with limited resources???
