I would like to find some more or less detailed descriptions of real-life problems that can be successfully solved by Simplex method.
Could anyone give me some references to the materials where I can find the descriptions of real-life tasks where Simplex method can be used successfully?
I don't need any theoretical materials as I have finished Operations research post-graduate study in my university so I definitely know some theory about this method.
In theory Simplex can be used in a lot of areas. I would like to know in what tasks Simplex is currently used in the world.
Well, Simplex algorithm can be used a lot of areas, like you said.
Here is an example of an energy system model, which optimizes over costs of the energy system, which needs to satisfy the given demand.
In theory if you apply this model to energy generation of a country(with real input file from the country), you may find the cheapest option to satisfy the demand with generating power from various types of power plants.
