Decision Support System For Car Production Using Linear Programming Approach

Abstract

Linear programming is the best known optimization model. It deals with the optimal allocation of resources among competing activities. Using special mathematical procedures, the LP approach applies a unique computerized search procedure that finds the best solution. In this paper, the optimal solution, that maximizes the profit for a car production plant is investigated using the LP technique. This paper intends to provide estimating the profit for car production. There is a trend toward providing managers with information systems that can assist them directly in their decision making processes for most important tasks. DSS allows managers and their staff to use the query capabilities of the computer in order to obtain requested information and retain control over the decision making process as changes occur. Computerized decision support systems are needed for speedy computation, increased productivity, technical support, quality support and competitive edge.
