Optimization of production planning in Czech agricultural co-operative via linear programming

APPLICATION OF LINEAR PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES IN PRODUCTION PLANNING

Optimum utilization of limited resources in the production floor demands that the production manager makes decisions on the best allocation of limited resources. This study applied linear programming techniques to production planning problem in a feed mill producing company. Linear Programming model was formulated based on data obtained from the company operations’ diary. Data was processed wit...

A LINEAR PROGRAMMING MODEL FOR PRODUCTION PLANNING: AN IRANIAN CASE STUDY IN CEMENT

Production planning and inventory control efforts are known as the driving engines of manufacturing systems. The manufacturers, competing to survive in these days’ competitive business environment, aim to satisfy customers’ needs. This requires a precise production plan throughout the supply chain. These days, because of the increasing costs of production and distribution, especially in the cem...

Nearly optimal linear programming as a guide to agricultural planning

Jeffrey, S.R., Gibson, R.R. and Faminow, M.D., 1992. Nearly optimal linear programming as a guide to agricultural planning. Agric. Econ., 8: 1-19. Linear programming has long been used as a tool in agricultural planning. This paper presents and discusses a technique that can be used in conjunction with linear programming to evaluate 'nearly optimal' solutions. This technique is referred to as N...

Co-operative production planning for small- and medium-sized enterprises

Minimising manufacturing cost and production time parallel to raising the quality and the shipment reliability are important challenges in every production system. In case of distributed production systems the management of the above-mentioned criteria has great signi"cance and needs a complex, co-operative handling of the problems. A new, co-operative manufacturing network model is proposed fo...
