This work addresses the problem of production
planning that arises in the production of aromatic coconuts from
Samudsakhorn province in Thailand. The planning involves the
forwarding of aromatic coconuts from the harvest areas to the
factory, which is classified into two groups; self-owned areas and
contracted areas, the decisions of aromatic coconuts flow in the plant,
and addressing a question of which warehouse will be in use. The
problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming model
within supply chain management framework. The objective function
seeks to minimize the total cost including the harvesting, labor and
inventory costs. Constraints on the system include the production
activities in the company and demand requirements. Numerical
results are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of coconuts supply
chain model compared with base case.
