| Abstract | This study is directed at applying a more efficient mathematical
programming method in solving the production scheduling problem. The Rosenbrock method of search and geometric programming approach (Blau algorithm) are tested by the objective function of the classic Holt, Modigliani, Muth and Simon's paint factory scheduling problem in a 20 dimension response surface and compare with that obtained by Hooke-Jeeves method of search. The two proposed methods demonstrate the ability to
consistently descend to the neighborhood of the minimum function value reached. The two proposed techniques are then selected for incorporation into
a multi- item formulation, of the production scheduling problem of an animal feeds factory, which solve for the production and inventory levels for
individual items in future periods. |
