Abstract

Most companies in the marble sector are planning and programming their production using portfolio of orders, their experiences, and practical forecasts. Renta? Marble plant is chosen to carry out this study, where all production steps have been observed and recorded for a year. The authors used production capacity and loss reports, as well as software Lingo 8.0 in their researches. The scope of application for the linear programming method is defined. Software Lingo 8.0 is run for the best, worst, and average production conditions with respective assumptions made. The efficiency of products produced at the plant to obtain the highest revenue with a reasonable rate of loss is evaluated. The marketing policies for companies are developed.
