A high shadow price indicates that a resource has a significant impact on the objective function, implying that acquiring or allocating more of that resource would greatly improve outcomes or reduce costs.
A high shadow price implies that the resource is highly valuable and scarce. It indicates that a small increase in the availability of that resource can lead to a significant improvement in the objective function (e.g., profit or efficiency). This suggests that the resource is critical for achieving optimal outcomes and that its current constraint limits overall performance. Decision-makers should prioritize such resources for allocation or enhancement.
