This paper aims to develop a linear programming model to determine the optimal production of the guitars. OptQuest of Oracle Crystal Ball software is used to solve the linear programming model. From the results, the guitar manufacturer can achieve the maximum profit by producing only four of its five products. The fifth product did not give impact to maximize profit. The linear programming model gave a higher benefit than the current production plan of 11.09%.
