Abstract

Goal Programming is a class of methods for solving problems that involves multiple objective decisions making. Goal programming enables determines the point that best satisfies the set of goals in the decision problem. Traditionally, the objective of production planning and control is either to maximize profit or minimize cost and is formulated to a single-objective function in linear programming. However, linear programming is not without problem. The difficulty with the general linear programming approach is in its inability to represent the complexities of reality. Hence, increasingly aware of presence of multiple objectives that are conflict to each other must have, so the author intends to propose concept of goal programming to solve the problem in production planning and control. Thus, this research is to investigate how preemptive goal programming and weighted goal programming can be used to enhance management decisions associated with multiple goals that need to be achieved in order to efficiency utilize variable resources while meeting the restrictions imposed by environment surroundings.
