Abstract
This study outlines a planning methodology that formally integrates major societal dimensions with mathematical programming in industry planning for a low-income developing country. An integrated approach involving the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Linear Goal Programming (LGP) is employed. Development objectives are classified under economic, technological, social and political factors and are prioritized using the AHP according to their degree of importance. The priority structure is incorporated into the LGP framework to develop a multiobjective planning model. The application of the model is demonstrated using data from an export-oriented, semi-industrial and dominant copper mining sector in a low-income developing country in Sub-Saharan Africa.
