A product classification procedure is used to group the products into a few classes. A mathematical model is then developed to minimize the total  cost of production. The basic model is then transformed into a Linear Programming model to solve for the optimal production plan. The model is then applied to a heavy mechanical equipment manufacturer in Pakistan to test its applicability. A post optimality analysis is conducted to investigate the effect of various cost coefficients, and to draw  conclusions. 0aProduction planningxMathematical models1 aTang, John C.S., eChairperson0 aPakorn Adulbhan, eExamination Committee1 aTabucanon, Mario T., eExamination Committee2 aGovernment of United Kingdom, eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
