Optimizing of Production Structure on an Example of Mine

Abstract

This article presents the problem of production structure optimizing based on an example of the opencast mine of the raw and rock materials. There is developed two models of optimization, which take into account the unit cost of production in individual months, the unit cost of storage, demand and production capacity of the mine and the results were found using linear programming method and the LP-Solve. The obtained results clearly illustrate what kind of assortment and in what amount should be produce and storage in individual months, while demand coverage, to minimize the total cost of production and storage.
