Production optimization by using integer linear programming under a practical approach

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of production scheduling under a practical approach, which seeks to find out what would be the product mix to ensure the company to obtain the most useful, also requires that these combinations of products obtained from quickly and efficiently contributing thus to achieve lower costs associated with production. A specific mathematical model based on integer linear programming applied specifically to the product mix is presented, as well as the results obtained from the practical problem from the use of the model in integer linear programming, the use of the software and considering the own conditions of the problem addressed here.
