Abstract :One of the main problems of the firms is the inefficiency of the production; hence, one of the primary objectives of them is to improve the production by the increased utilization of the scarce recourses the most economically in accordance with the goals of the firms. Therefore, a variety of operational research tools have been evolved in the literature. Among those techniques, linear programming is of great importance with its power of tractability as well as the sensitivity analysis it enables the planner to investigate the robustness of the solution it generates. At present, firms have been lost their freedoms of changing the prices to a large extent because of the increasing competition, hence, they choose the way of minimizing the costs to be able to improve their profitability. As a result, the importance of the linear programming which is the effective production planning method has been growing day by day. This study models and demonstrates the benefits of the mixed integer linear programming in aggregate production planning for a lubricant factory.Keywords : Aggregate production planning, mixed integer linear programming
