Piecewise linear function (PLF) is an important technique for solving polynomial and/or posynomial programming problems since the problems can be approximately represented by the PLF. The PLF can also be solved using the goal programming (GP) technique by adding appropriate linearization constraints. This paper proposes a modified GP technique to solve PLF with
