Abstract

The project discuss about Aggregate Planning in one of a communication manufacturing company in Melaka. The company produces communication device, among the products is a pager. The company under study needs to improve their customer demand to meet the· delivery schedule· in an expected p·eriod at the· same time minimize the production cost. One of the approaches to improve this problem is through applying linear programming method. The objective of this research is to optimize utilization of plant capacity, reduce overall inventory, and balance the use of workers and produetion cost. Linear Programming was-used in this research to optimize production cost of the aggregate planning of the pager with considering of constraints: plant capacity,. demand,. inventory and workers. Some alternative scenario of production plan were developed; the best alternative is selected by finding an optimal solution which provides minimizing cost, maximizing capacity, rninirojzing inventory and maintaining a stable work force.
