Abstract
The food industry is one of the basic and important industries, as it contributes effectively to securing food for people, and it has great economic importance as it is one of the main pillars of food security. This study came to highlight the importance of using modern quantitative methods, including the linear programming method, in planning the optimal production of the Al-Amin factory for the year 2017 and reaching the optimal combination of products that achieve the largest amount of profit margin for the factory, by building a linear model using the Simplex method for its ability to deal with A large number of variables and seeks to achieve the highest return by using WinQSB application program to measure and analyze results. . A number of conclusions were reached, the most important of which is that the factory lacks an accurate scientific method for planning its production, as it depends on scientific experience and on previous annual plans. The use of the linear programming method in the factory resulted in the preparation of an optimal production plan, as the optimal production plan was able to achieve An increase in the total amount of actual production by (19.47%), and the study recommended the adoption of scientific methods in production planning.
