As Linear Programming is a valuable way of displaying real-world data in a mathematical way, it is commonly used in manufacturing and the service industry. For example, many large distribution companies will use linear programming in the analysis of their supply chain operations, similar to the toy example above. Additionally, linear programming can be used outside the warehouse in the optimization of delivery routes. Companies like Amazon and FedEx use linear programming to find the shortest and most efficient delivery routes. Linear programming is also used in machine learning applications where a neural network is trained to fit model of a function in order to label input data and predict unknown future values.
