Malang Regency produced 690,136 tons banana in 2016. The banana production is in line with the waste (banana stalks). Banana stalks contain 83.3% cellulose and 2.97% lignin, of which can be used as raw material for paperboard making. However, the banana leaf paper has a low tensile strength of 7.45 N/mm2, so additional fibers to strengthen the paper is necessary, such as coconut coir which has a tensile strength of 46.67 N/mm2. This research aimed to formulate the material for paper making, such as the fiber source (banana fronds and coconut coir), filler (tapioca), and water to produce paperboard with minimal costs. The research was conducted using a linear programming method with LINDO software. The formulation of a sheet of cardboard produced was 34.79 g of dry banana stalks, 19.20 g of coconut coir, 6.00 g of tapioca, 136.08 g of NaOH, 2080 mL of distilled water, and 1000 mL of water with manufacturing cost of IDR 6,931.15. The paper characteristics has gramature of 323.8 g/m2, moisture content of 19.75%, water absorption test of 743.2 g/m2, tensile resistance of 1.4 kN/m, and stiffness of 5.7 mN.m.

A study was undertaken in Bhagwanpur distributary of Vaishali Branch Canal in Gandak Canal Command Area, Bihar to optimally allocate land area under different crops (rice and maize in kharif, wheat, lentil, potato in rabi and green gram in summer) in such a manner that maximizes net return, maximizes crop production and minimizes labour requirement employing simplex linear programming method and Multi-Objective Fuzzy Linear Programming (MOFLP) method. Maximum net return, maximum agricultural production, and minimum labour required under defined constraints (including 10% affinity level of farmers to rice and wheat crops) as obtained employing Simplex method were ` 3.7 × 108, 5.06 × 107 Kg and 66,092 man-days, respectively, whereas Multi-Objective Fuzzy Linear Programming (MOFLP) method yielded compromised solution with net return, crop production and labour required as ` 2.4 × 108, 3.3 × 107Kg and 1,79,313 man-days, respectively. As the affinity level of farmers to rice and wheat crops increased from 10% to 40%, maximum net return and maximum production as obtained from simplex linear programming method and MOFLP followed a decreasing trend and minimum labour required followed an increasing trend. MOFLP may be considered as one of the best capable ways of providing a compromised solution, which can fulfill all the objectives at a time.

<p>CV. Baja Utama Landasan Ulin is a business entity that manufactures various products using the basic ingredients of iron. In the management of raw materials for the production of common regulatory process raw materials into sections for further processing. This setting is often done manually without doing careful planning, so that at the end of each production process there are many remaining pieces of the raw materials that should be used in production. In addition to the determination of the production is necessary to reference how the product should be made for each type of existing products. This is often an important factor that pushed for the optimization of production planning in determining the number of products for each type of product and raw material consumption.Linear Programming is one of the methods used in production planning to regulate the use of raw materials is limited. Simplex method is part of the linear programming method that can be used in the production planning system implementation. Simplex method identifies an initial basic solution and then move systematically to other basic solution that has the potential to improve the value of the objective function.The calculation result of production planning using the simplex method can be used as a reference in the decision making production planning. By building an application using the simplex method can assist in the calculation of production peencanaan more efficiently and effectively. Accuracy testing system constructed show significant results with great value reached 94% level of accuracy.<br />Keywords: simplex, production planning, the maximum gain, linear programming</p>

In this article reveals an example of forecasting the volumes of sales goods through ways of implement optimization analysis, that is by linear programming method. For example, volume of production goods for realization her consumers no must to exceed of determined out maximum or to be lower by minimum, what can to foreseeing in this task. For decision tasks of linear programming with a large number of variables and constraints, decomposition methods are used, which allow instead of the original problem to solve tasks of little volume. In general methodology of linear programming together with simplex-method is considered on the example Nemyriv bakery, where determined out profit on unit bakery products, obtained through the optimal ratio of material resources and costs incurred. In analysis and treatment of economic activities the each enterprises, particularly at composition forecast as to volumes of sales goods with aim of receiving profit, linear programming maybe successfully used out for decision tasks with optimization of development and organization trade processes upon regarding the sale of its products. With point of view management a tasks of linear programming – this tasks of optimal using resources. In each event planning of production goods necessity have on attention, which different productions resources (workforce, raw, materials, means of production) are limited, and also which known norm of costs these resources on different kinds goods, or possible are multiples variants to separating production resources. In our work, we ascertained that in analysis, compliance is checked of demand for bakery products to stocks of most-important kinds raw and materials together with costs as most important conditions for receive profit on enterprises and avoiding of excessive and unforeseen losses. With aim of rise efficiency of enterprises activities necessary and further to look at question of renewing assortment goods and increase quality her, increasing volumes of production, maximum of loading production powers equipment, efficiency using of available resources.
