Abstract:

Production is concerned with the determination of production inventory and work force levels to meet fluctuating demand requirements. Mathematical programming is suited particularly well for supporting these types of decisions. The first purpose of this paper is to review the different types of mathematical programming models that can be used to support production planning decisions. The second objective is to describe a set of computer programs that allow the input of model data and the solution of the mathematical programming model. Some computational results are also given.
