Abstract
Natural products such as vegetables can be influenced in their cultivation by many variables, some controllable and others not, which affect the homogeneity of the resulting product. This lack of homogeneity must be considered in all processes of the supply chain. Another aspect to consider is the degradation over time of these products, interpreted as shelf-life for inventory policies. In this work, this problem is considered for the production scheduling of a vegetable packaging machine. Specifically, the machine packages broccoli and cauliflower, which are natural raw materials that suffer lack of homogeneity. In addition, the real case described in the paper suggests possible replacement of demand and different combinations of products. The full description of the problem and the framework in which it is located is assumed as one of the contributions of this paper. The other one is the successfully design of two mathematical models which represent the complexity of the problem faced.
