Relying only on a deterministic LP solution can create operational risks when real-world conditions change. For example, changes in demand, costs, resource availability, or capacity may make the original solution less effective or even infeasible.
Without post-optimal analysis, decision-makers may also fail to identify which parameters are most sensitive and how much they can change before the optimal solution changes.
Relying solely on a deterministic LP solution without post-optimal analysis leaves operations blind to plan fragility, exposing the business to sudden stockouts, bottlenecks, or profit drops from minor demand or cost shifts. Without sensitivity data and shadow prices, managers cannot identify which constraint limits performance or know how much parameters can fluctuate before the plan becomes infeasible.
