This paper proposes a simplified solution procedure to the model presented by Akinc and Roodman. The Benders’ decomposition procedure for analyzing this model has been developed, and its shortcomings have been highlighted. Here, the special nature of the problem is exploited which allowed us to develop a new algorithm through surrogating method. The two methods are compared by several numerical...

Optimum utilization of limited resources in the production floor demands that the production manager makes decisions on the best allocation of limited resources. This study applied linear programming techniques to production planning problem in a feed mill producing company.
