Abstract
This paper describes the installation of a planning system in a food factory, based on the use of linear programming. Owing to the seasonal nature of many of the parameters, it is essential to use a multi-period model.
The formulation of the L.P. model is discussed in some detail. This includes a considerable number of restrictions of a commercial rather than a physical nature.
A particular aspect of the application is the way in which the model is used, in slightly different forms, at the three distinct stages of the planning process.
Some of the practical difficulties encountered in implementing the solution are discussed.
