Abstract
A formulation is developed to allow the simple adaptation of non-sequential multi-state LP models into a semi-sequential framework describing problems with stochastic resource supplies and input and output coefficients. The method is illustrated by a peasant farm management example and compared with discrete stochastic programming, whose adoption has often beenlimited by its tendency to impose restrictions on problem formulation. It is suggested that the semi-sequential formulation provides a useful alternative modelling approach where stochastic variation is important but analytical and data collection resources are limited
