AWCL should employ more overtime labour when it is necessary to meet the urgent demands from the customers. The analysis also showed that, increasing the wages of regular workers and reducing that of overtime help the company to produce more with minimum cost of production. The AWCL incurs cost of GH¢1.2355 when producing a bag of sachet water but with the use of linear Programming model, the cost of producing a bag of water was reduced to GH¢0.831519. The optimal solution to the production planning problem was generated by LP Solver and the demand and supply at each month were determined. The major objective of this study is to minimize the total cost of production at AWCL using Linear Programming model.
This study showed the trend of production of sachet water at AWCL which gave the quantity of sachet water produced in each month for the year, 2011. All production firms aim at maximizing profit after sales of their products but due to lack of technological and scientific approach in the production setting, many cannot achieve the stated objectives.
