        C = It is the matrix of costs or utilities, formed by the   Applications of the simplex method
        coefficients    of     the     objective    function.
                                                                This method or procedure has countless applications
        A = is the matrix of coefficients of the system formed   in  linear  programming,  but  also  use  in  mathematics
        by the constraints.                                     and geometry. Among the most common applications

        B = is the column matrix of independent terms of the
        constraint system.                                        It is a technique used to give numerical solutions
                                                                   to problems of linear programming.
        X = is the column matrix of the variables X1, X2, X3,     It is commonly applied to find an optimal solution
        ..., Xn of the constraint system.                          to problems of maximization and minimization.

        Romero,  Muñoz,  and  Romero  (2006)  point  out  that     It  is  useful  for  solving  large  and  complex
        Industrial Engineering as a discipline dedicated to the    problems.
        design,  innovation,  improvement,  installation  and    Variables commonly used in linear programming
        administration  of  integrated  systems  of  human         have been developed from the simplex method.

        organized  for  efficient  and  manufacturing  and         development  of  software  that  facilitates  the
        services.  Acevedo  and  Linares  (2012)  point  out  that
        Industrial  Engineering  has  been  boosted  since  the    calculation  process.  An  example  of  this  is  the
                                                                   WIN QSB®
