Economics is essentially about the allocation the least quantities of scarce resources to maximise utility. Resources could be money - so minimise cost - while utility may be measured by profits.

If the production options can be modelled by linear functions - as they often are - then LP is a very useful tool. It is also easily programmed into computers.
