Algorithm
Dual simplex method Steps (Rule)
Step-1: Formulate the Problem

a. Formulate the mathematical model of the given linear programming problem.

b. If the objective function is minimization type then change it into maximization type.

c. all `>=` constraint to `<=` constraint by multiply -1

d. Transform every `<=` constraint into an `=` constraint by adding a slack variable to every constraint and assign a 0 cost coefficient in the objective function.
Step-2: Find out the Initial basic solution

Find the initial basic feasible solution by setting zero value to the decision variables. That shown in the example-1
Step-3: Test for Optimality

a. If all the values of `X_B >= 0`, then current solution is the optimal solution, terminate the process.

b. If any `X_B < 0`, then select the Minimum negative `X_B` and this row is called key row.

c. Find `"Ratio"=(Z_j-C_j)/"KeyRow"_j` and `"KeyRow"_j < 0`.

d. Find Least negative ratio, and this column is called key column.

e. Find the new solution table.

f. Repeat step-3.
