Optimasi Biaya Produksi Bibit Udang Putih dengan Menggunakan Metode Simpleks (Studi Kasus: PT. Surya Windu Pertiwi)

Abstract

ABSTRACT Optimization is an activity to get the best results under the given conditions. Linear programming as a method for solving optimization problems within the restrictions that are a powerful tool for decision makers to make the best decisions based on the best solution of the optimization problem. In this study, researchers used data such as cost of production of 20 seed pools of white shrimp in PT. Surya Pertiwi Windu. Then, this research aims to optimize production costs by using linear programming method that the simplex method with the help of software POM-QM. In the actual condition of the total production cost of 20 white shrimp seed pool amounted Rp770.846.924,00, while the results of the completion of the simplex method obtained total production cost Rp583.795.404,00. Thus the Vendor can save production costs by Rp187.051.520,00. Keywords: Optimization, Production Costs, Linear Program, Simplex Method
