The tolerance approach to sensitivity analysis allows for simultaneous and independent variations of the elements of a column or a row of the coefficient matrix in a standard linear programming problem. In particular, the approach yields a maximum tolerance percentage within which the elements...

Traditional sensitivity analysis in linear programming usually focuses on variations of one coefficient or term at a time. The tolerance approach was proposed to provide a decision maker with an effective and easy-to-use method to summarize the effects of simultaneous and independent changes in...
