An attempt to use integer programming model in production planning

Abstract

Production planning is considered to be one of the most important pillars of the success of the institution and its stability in the market, especially as it depends on its search about the desired quantities of the products based on the limited resources and the productive capacities required for production, On this basis, the linear programming is considered one of the most important tools and quantitative methods that seek to ensure the optimum use of limited resources. In many situations, the institution finds itself in a dilemma considering the existence of decimal within the composition of production, in such case, a mathematical model is used, known as programming with integer numbers, the latter is based on suggesting a variety of products of integer numbers. Throughout the awareness of the importance of using the model of integer programming in the planning of production, as we sought to submit a scientific article that benefit our institutions, we tried to build an Integer programming model and to solve it using the software of quantitative models (QM), we did this study in the National Industrial Vehicle Corporation (SNVI) in 2018, this institution is a pioneer in the field of the industry of Industrial Mechanisms in Algeria.
