# Complete Optimization Problem and Solution: company_office

## 1. Problem Context and Goals

### Context  
The company is focused on optimizing the allocation of office spaces across multiple buildings to minimize the total leasing cost. The decision involves determining the amount of space to allocate to each company in each building, ensuring that each company's space requirements are met based on their sales and assets. The cost per square foot for leasing space varies by building, and the total available space in each building is limited. The goal is to allocate space in a way that minimizes the overall leasing cost while adhering to these constraints.

Key operational parameters include:
- **Cost per square foot for leasing space in each building**: This is used to calculate the total leasing cost, which is the primary metric to minimize.
- **Minimum space required by each company**: This ensures that each company receives enough space to meet its operational needs based on its sales and assets.
- **Total available space in each building**: This ensures that the total space allocated in each building does not exceed its capacity.

The total leasing cost is calculated by summing the product of the cost per square foot for each building and the space allocated to each company in that building. This calculation is linear and directly tied to the decision variables, ensuring a straightforward optimization formulation.

### Goals  
The primary goal of this optimization problem is to minimize the total leasing cost of office spaces across all buildings. This is achieved by determining the optimal allocation of space to each company in each building, considering the cost per square foot for each building and the space requirements of each company. Success is measured by achieving the lowest possible total leasing cost while ensuring that all companies receive their required space and that no building exceeds its available space capacity.

## 2. Constraints    

The optimization problem is subject to the following constraints:
1. **Minimum Space Requirement**: The total space allocated to each company across all buildings must meet or exceed the company's minimum space requirement. This ensures that each company has enough space to operate effectively based on its sales and assets.
2. **Building Capacity**: The total space allocated in each building must not exceed the building's available space. This ensures that the physical limitations of each building are respected.
3. **Non-Negative Allocation**: The space allocated to each company in each building must be non-negative. This ensures that the allocation is physically meaningful and feasible.

These constraints are linear and directly tied to the decision variables, ensuring that the optimization problem remains linear and tractable.
