In the competitive market of apparel manufacturing, lead time for production plays a significant role in the delivery of the produces impacting the entire supply chain. Nowadays, composite manufacturers are leaning towards delivering within the shortest possible time to retain customers in this competitive market. To meet this challenge, proper production planning either using the correct method or the appropriate tools is a prerequisite condition; otherwise, mills will inevitably suffer losses or fail to drain out the maximum possible profit from the produces and may also suffer from promoting more expenses rather than yielding revenues. This study deals with the development of a linear programming model in order to reduce the complexity of the scheduling problem of a Composite Textile Industry in pursuit of maximizing profit or minimizing production costs. The model is developed considering process segmentation, utilization of machines and other resources, with respect to lead time. Four different components of the lead time are derived and an excel solver is used in solving the model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
