Two-phase approach with equal weighted coefficients has been proposed to yield an efficient solution for multiple objective programming problems. In this note, we will show that the two-phase approach, as long as the weighted coefficients are positive, not necessarily equal, will generate an efficient solution. A counterexample is given to the case that some weighted coefficients are zero.
