METHODS OF COSTS OPTIMIZATION

Summary/Abstract: To optimize means to find in a problem or in a decision situation the solution that, from a certain point of view, is the best of all possible solutions. The optimization leads to the determination and realization of a special status of a system, state that is the most favorable from a particular point of view. Mathematical, the optimization is defined by the minimizing or maximizing of function obedience to additional restrictions. Therefore, in order to study a problem of optimization is necessary that in the analyzed problem to exist several possible solutions, from which will be chosen the best one. It is necessary to define rigorous a point of view from which we propose a system optimization, point of view that must take the form of a size in order to measure the effectiveness of various possible solutions, and of the different sets of values given to the decision variables. The optimization is a particular case of perfecting or improving a system, expressly the maximum possible improvement. The optimization methods depend on the nature of the functions involved in the concrete formulated problem.
