Using the Linear Programming Model in Determining the Potential Production Capacities by Employing the Parametric Programming Method

This research aims to use the linear programming method to identify underutilized production capacities within the company's production lines by employing the parametric programming method as a supporting tool. It is considered a fundamental and important method that helps make the best use of the resources available to companies and aids decision-makers in making accurate, scientifically-based decisions. The study includes identifying unused capacities within four production lines of a dairy company: the dairy production line and the confectionery production line. The study identifies unused capacities within the natural juice and beverages production line and the bakery production line. Based on the results obtained and a comparison with actual achievements, it identifies the unused production capacities. This approach grants the model greater flexibility and uses it as a foundational basis for determining optimal values in the future.
