ABSTRACT
In this chapter Lingo is used as a package to solve optimization problems aiming at product design. The first two parts present general modelling guidelines and the software for specific problems in the product design field. In particular, examples are provided in the food industry; the production of different types of beers; the refining industry; the evaluation of the product portfolio that yields the highest profit; and finally, in the area of biotechnology where the optimization of metabolic networks is carried out.
