Abstract
This study, intends to explore the activities
of the production line of a textile mill With the aid
of a tool of operations research - Linear Programming.
The management of the textile mill is facing loss
problems and they have attributed some reasons for this,
and the intention of this project is to apply L.P. and
find out if reasons other than those sited by the
management of this company could be found, and to see
if the situation of this company can be improved by
this application of this O.P. tool.
In carrying out the research, a questionnaire was
designed in such a way as to fish out facts about the
objective function of the company, the constraints
facing the company, and the tecmological coefficients
currently prevailing in the company. In the final
analysis, fourteen (14) variable and thirteen (13)
constraints were identified and the problem which was
solved by simplex algorithun presented itself as a
twenty-seven (27) by thirteen (13) matrix. This was
solve by the computer and conclusions were made.
