Goal programming is the achieving the multiple goal simultaniously.In the linear programming the max/min function is set for only one quantity to control on its optimum value.Goal programming carries many goals related to each other and they have to be achieved. In this the minimum and maximum deviation are also setted for the achieving the goal.
