For some management programming problems, multiple objectives to be optimized rather than a single objective, and objectives can be expressed with ratio equations such as return/investment, operating profit/net-sales, profit/manufacturing cost, etc. In this paper, we proposed the transformation characteristics to solve the multi objective linear fractional programming (MOLFP) problems. If a MOLFP problem with both the numerators and the denominators of the objectives are linear functions and some technical linear restrictions are satisfied, then it is defined as a multi objective linear fractional programming problem MOLFPP in this research. The transformation characteristics are illustrated and the solution procedure and numerical example are presented.

Abstract


For some management programming problems, multiple objectives to be optimized rather than a single objective, and objectives can be expressed with ratio equations such as return/investment, operating profit/net-sales, profit/manufacturing cost, etc. In this paper, we proposed the transformation characteristics to solve the multi objective linear fractional programming (MOLFP) problems. If a MOLFP problem with both the numerators and the denominators of the objectives are linear functions and some technical linear restrictions are satisfied, then it is defined as a multi objective linear fractional programming problem MOLFPP in this research. The transformation characteristics are illustrated and the solution procedure and numerical example are presented.
