Shadow prices show how a change in a resource or constraint affects the minimum cost. A positive shadow price means increasing the resource will increase the minimum cost, while a negative shadow price means it can decrease the minimum cost.
In a minimization model, if a constraint requirement has a positive shadow price, increasing that requirement will drive total operational costs upward.
