PRODUCTION MAXIMIZATION: A SIMPLEX METHOD APPROACH (A CASE STUDY OF SAMFARERA RICE MILLS KANO-NIGERIA)
Abstract
ABSTRACT
This research paper optimized the rice production of Samfarera Rice Processing Mills using a famous mathematical technique known as Simplex method. The problems were transformed into linear programming and used the technique to determine the optimal solution. The company uses two machines in daily operations and produces some certain number of bags of process rice, the research provides an additional income by maximizing the product within stipulated time. The result validates hypothesis and found to be effective and efficient in maximizing the production leading to a significant business operations and high profit.
Keywords: Simplex Method; Elementary Row Operations; Dual Simplex Method; Production Maximization
