This paper basically shows a direction to improve the standard of living of Terracotta artist i.e. how to increase their daily income. Here the work of rural Terracotta artist is highlighted. The tasks they perform are divided into three categories, namely: Architectural ornaments and facings, Structural units and pottery, Material for Sculpture. They are again divided into two categories as medium and small artefacts. Very large or very small artworks are not accounted here as they are exceptional works. Information about how much time it takes to do each job and how much profit it makes is collected from them. With all those data, the linear programming problem is formulated and solved with the help of graphical method of LPP. Our objective here is to maximize their profits. | |
