This paper aims to apply linear optimization to production planning in the “Procesadora Torre Blanca” along the year 2011 with the objective of minimizing production costs and maintain inventories, taking into consideration the seasonal demand which has to be a company in the agribusiness and capacity constraints of machines, direct labor and inventory. For this purpose was the calculation of demand forecasting with a simple linear regression and the method of seasonal patterns. In developing the theme will be used mainly 2 programs computing such as Minitab 16, to calculate the coefficient of determination and general regression equation in addition to the LINDO 6.1, for solving the problem of linear programming. Currently working on an empirical and qualitative production scheduling in the company, so the use of linear programming is a great help when planning the production quantities of each product per month and thus have an optimal basis can be implemented thereafter. Keywords: Linear programming, Production Planning, Demand Forecasting, Seasonal patterns
Resumen
El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo aplicar la optimizacion lineal para planificar la producción en la Procesadora Torre Blanca a lo largo del año 2011 con el objetivo de minimizar los costos de producción y de mantener inventarios, considerando para ello la demanda estacional que presenta por ser una empresa del sector agroindustrial y las restricciones de capacidades de maquinarias, mano de obra directa e inventarios. Para este fin se hizo el cálculo del pronóstico de la demanda con una regresión lineal simple y el método de patrones estacionales. En el desarrollo del tema se usaran principalmente 2 programas informáticos tales como
