Steel Cold Winter Eng Sub here.  The Big M method is a method of solving linear programming problems.  It is a variation of the simplex method designed for solving problems typically encompassing 'greater-than' constraints as well as 'less-than' constraints - where the zero vector is not a feasible solution.  The 'Big M' refers to a large number associated with the artificial variables, represented by the letter M. • DRAWBACKS  If optimal solution has any artificial variable with non-zero value, original problem is infeasible  Four drawbacks of BIG-M method:  How large should M be?  If M is too large, serious numerical difficulties in a computer  Big-M method is inferior than 2 phase method  Here feasibility is not known until optimality • Steps In The Big-M Method  Add artificial variables in the model to obtain a feasible solution.
