Abstract
Production scheduling is a decision-making process that is used in manufacturing
and service industries to achieve effciency and minimize production cost. The
goal with this research is to optimize the production and Scheduling of products of
a beverage company by developing a model that displays the optimal production
plan for a given planning horizon. The model is designed in a way that it can
be implemented on any kind of Beverage Company: The model can also be
implemented on different kind of production to make a production plan. A Mixed
Linear Programming Model to support decision making is presented, in order to
nd the optimal production plan, by maximizing the production and reducing
cost. Data from Promasidor Ghana Limited was applied to the model. Results
from the model were analyzed and sensitivity analysis was carried out. I found
out that the mixed linear programming model is an e cient approach to solve a
production planning and Scheduling problems.
