Abstract

Production control of cashew nuts greatly affects the profits earned by the company. When cashew nut raw materials exceed production needs, it results in storing cashews for an extended period, causing the cashew products to lose freshness, and the quality of processed cashews deteriorates. If the raw materials are damaged, the manufacturer must acquire additional costs to procure raw materials again. Another issue is that cashew nut raw materials are seasonal products and are not always available.To solve these problems, a calculation method is needed to control optimal production inventory to minimize the company's expenditures. The method used is to formulate the problem into a Fuzzy Linear Programming mathematical model using a combination of methods: the Simplex algorithm and Duality Theory. The case implementation focuses on the uncertainty of cashew nut production quantities outside the harvest season. Moreover, the calculation of an optimal production quantity to minimize resulting losses is needed. The output generated is an optimal production prediction using the combination of the Simplex Algorithm and Duality Theory in solving Fuzzy Linear Programming.
