Decision making for capacity planning in a make-to-order company using mixed integer programming

The objective of this study is to propose a mixed integer model which can help Company T, a Make-to-Order (MTO) Company to make proper decision in accepting or rejecting the customers’ orders. The proposed model can solve small capacity planning problem with the objective function of maximizing the...
