Application of ınteger programming model to a virtual automobile factory for production planning

Planning before starting production plays a key role in both maximization of profit and retrenching. In today's competitive conditions only the companies which could make a good production plan will be able to survive.The aim of this study is to determine how much complete production can be produced from which product in accordance with the bounds of possibility of the factory using the integer programming method. If an unplanned production is made, uncompleted products, unnecessarily used workforce and waste of raw materials will appear.In the speculative part of the study the structure of linear programming integer programming and production planning reviewed.In the practice part of the study, the integer programming method is applied in an virtual car factory. when adopting the method the complex production of producing cars is simplified with certain acknowledgements. The problem is solved with lingo packet programme by dividing it into 8 sub-problems while protecting the sequence in production logic.
