Title: Optimization of Production Scheduling Using Linear Programming in

a Manufacturing Company
Abstract: Production scheduling is a critical component of manufacturing
operations, ensuring efficient resource utilization, timely product delivery, and cost
minimization. However, traditional scheduling methods often lead to inefficiencies,
including high production costs, underutilization of machines, and missed deadlines.
This study explores the application of Linear Programming (LP) to optimize
production scheduling, demonstrating how it can enhance efficiency by minimizing
production costs and balancing workload distribution. The research includes a
comprehensive case study, mathematical modeling, and software-based
implementation to validate the findings.
