APPLICATION OF LINEAR PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES IN PRODUCTION PLANNING
Authors
Abstract:
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 with the help of Management Scientist Version 5.0. The study reveals improved profit through streamlining of the product range and cutting off the less productive products This suggests the company may adopt the outcome of the linear programming techniques in production planning to improve monthly profit. This study has shown that linear programming techniques is a powerful tool that can be of help to manager in decision making and allocation of limited resources and indicate operations and profit improvement.

Application of Multi Objective Fuzzy Linear Programming in Supply Production Planning Problem
The purpose of this paper is establish the usefulness of newly formed modified s-curve membership function in a limited supply production planning problem with continuous variables. In this respect fuzzy parameters of linear programming are modeled by non-linear membership function such as scurve function. This paper begins with introduction and construction of modified s-curve membership funct...

The production planning is an important problem in most of manufacturing systems in practice. Unlike many researches existing in literature, this problem encounters with great uncertainties in parameters and input data. In this paper, a single machine capacitated production planning problem is considered and a linear programming formulation is presented. The production costs are assumed to be u...

This study develops a fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (FMOLP) model for solving the multi-product aggregate production planning (APP) decision problem in a fuzzy environment. The proposed model attempts to minimize total production costs, carrying and backordering costs and rates of changes in labor levels considering inventory level, labor levels, capacity, warehouse space and the tim...
