Solution of goal programming models using a basic taboo search algorithm

Goal programming is a very powerful technique for solving multiple objective optimisation problems. It has been successfully applied to numerous diverse real life problems. In this paper a Taboo search based method is developed to solve preemptive goal programming problems. The method can easily be applied to any kind of preemptive goal programming problems.
