ANALISA PENERAPAN LINEAR PROGRAMMING SIMPLEX METHOD DALAM UPAYA MEMAKSIMALKAN PENDAPATAN PERUSAHAAN

Abstract

This research is conducted to determine the maximum level of income by utilizing of linear programming simplex method from resources constraints based on the available production data in 2009

According on the analysis of data, total income of company is increased to 1.3 billion rupiah. And to decrease the level of slack from the constraints of time which in production and packaging. Budget constraints of the company's products before and after using the simplex method indicates that the existing resources better utilized, thereby reducing the idle time of production and packaging from 646,847 minutes and 277,733 to 493,809 minutes and 212,600

Although the rest of the production and packaging is still much left, revenue is hampered due to budget constraints that the company has been set at Rp 2,605 million In the surplus on restriction of one product demand, there are increase in demand for 325,688 units, and no change in the demand for rwo other products. Thus, the level of company's income still can be maximized by using o/ linear programming simplex method

Key Words: simplex method, production, and packaging
