A dynamic and visual “free‐search” type of interactive procedure for multiple‐objective linear programming is presented. The method enables a decision maker to freely search any part of the efficient frontier by controlling the speed and direction of motion. The objective function values are represented in numeric form and as bar graphs on a display. The method is implemented on an IBM PC/1 microcomputer and is illustrated using a multiple‐objective linear‐programming model for managing disposal of sewage sludge in the New York Bight. Some other applications are also briefly discussed.
