Proposta de otimização do mix de produção utilizando o método simplex: um estudo de caso de uma confecção de moda íntima do município de Cordeiro - RJ.

Abstract

As part of the Operations Research (OR), Linear Programming (LP) is characterized as an optimization technique aimed at solving models described by linear equations, benefiting from the increasing processing power of computers. The article in screen gives a linear programming problem (LPP) classic, formulated from information from the textile industry. In this sense, the objective is to propose a production mix to maximize revenues from a female underwear factory located in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro, from a given amount of available inputs. Comparing the current practice of the company and the scenario proposed by the model, optimized by the Simplex Method, there was an improvement in the annual report of the order of 9.3%, which, in 2015, would R$161,223.53 to R$176,219.31.
