The article addresses the problem of choosing the optimal sales strategy for bakery equipment in order to maximize revenue under given constraints. The author shows that this issue belongs to the field of operations research, specifically linear programming and decision optimization problems.

In the technical part, a mathematical model is constructed with decision variables representing assignment of machines to buyers, a revenue-maximizing objective function, and a set of linear constraints ensuring that each buyer purchases only one machine and each machine is sold only once. The model is formulated using systems of linear equations and inequalities and solved using the simplex method, supported by tabular data of offers and prices .

As a result, the optimal allocation of machines to buyers was determined, yielding the maximum total revenue (45,900 PLN). The article demonstrates that linear programming as a method of operations research enables solving complex decision problems and supports rational economic choices in business practice.
