applying robust optimization to solve product mix problem in automotive industries in this article, applying robust optimization in product mix problem in automotive industries is presented. the problem includes determining both the quantity and the identification of each product to produce to maximize profit. at first, the deterministic model will be presented. then, robust model of product mi...

this paper deals with the product mix problem using the concept of theory of constraints (toc). theory of constraints is one of the most efficient approaches which have been applied to solve the product mix problem heuristically. although there are numerous heuristic and meta-heuristics to solve this problem, finding the optimal solution in a reasonable time is still a challenging issue. in thi...

The theory of constraints is an approach to production planning and control that emphasizes on the constraints to increase throughput by effectively managing constraint resources. One application in theory of constraints is product mix decision. Product mix influences the performance measures in multi-product manufacturing system. This paper presents an alternative approach by using of goal pro...

product mix problem (pmp) is one of the most important and complicated problems in production systems. different approaches have been applied to solve this problem, among them, theory of constraints (toc) has been widely considered since 1990s. this paper develops a distinguished algorithm to solve product mix prob-lems that is efficient both in single and multi-bottleneck problems. at first, t...

One of the most important decision making problems in many production systems is identification and determination of products and their quantities according to available resources. This problem is called product-mix. However, in the real-world situations, for existing constrained resources, many companies try to provide some products from external resources to achieve more profits. In this pape...
