Abstract
In this work, we present an operational planning model for harvesting of fresh agricultural products. This model contains the resources and factors that determine the operational cost of harvesting. These resources are labor, time windows for operations, use of soil, demand of products, types of markets, loss for quality, variety of fruits and productivity of crops, which is founded on the use of lean manufacturing (LM) principles as wastes management tool. This model minimizes the cost of wastes generates by resources used for harvest and allowing for get an operational planning through of mixed linear programming. The results show operational improvements and indicating significant savings can be obtained in cost for harvesting. A study case is show for illustrating the results, savings expressed through the objective function, and a sensibility analysis is described for determining the best levels of production factors for harvesting.
