Abstract

This paper presents production planning using mathematical modeling methods in order to reduce processing time for steel pipe manufacturing production. The study specifically focused on the polishing and the coating processes with each process involving multiple parallel machines. The production for polished pipes was separated by different production rates while the steel pipe coating were separated into batches according to the diameter of the pipes. Production planning for each process is complex and diverse due to different products and customer orders. Current planning relies on the production planning experience, which results in long processing times of the coating processes. Therefore, the objective of this paper was to find optimal production planning to reduce processing A mathematical model for the optimal production planning for the processes was developed. In addition, the model was applied to the sample data sets and solved using Microsoft Excel Solver. The results revealed that the polishing process time decreased by 11.77 percent and the coating time decreased by 13.34 percent.
