A Research on Particle Board Factory by Utilization of Integer Linear Programming

Aim of study: There are some factors which effect production of establishments for instance; quality, cost, time, capacity of production, raw material, market structure, and, customer variables. The establishments have to perform their productive activity in accordance with these variables for minimum cost or maximum profit. Therefore, it is necessary to make a production planning for doing something at correct time. While making the production planning, quantitative determine techniques are used for solving of complex problems. The linear programming which is the best among the quantitative techniques provides active and optimum production planning. Area of study: This study was conducted at the particle board factory, located on the Mersin city, Turkey. Material and Methods: In this research, particle board factory and its production process were examined. The linear programming method was run on LINGO 13.0 programme. Main results: In this study, it was determined that particle board production quantity, particle board stock quantity for a year. The demand was covered completely. 1000 number demand at production of particle board were covered with stock product by different production quantities in particular months. Research highlights: Development of the firms on this way will lead to further in terms of economic of country and its development.
