- Abstract
Effective production planning and creating high-quality items are two of the most critical factors in establishing long-term success in the manufacturing business. This study presents Goal Programming (GP), a Multi-Objective Optimization technique for decision-making issues, incorporating Six Sigma concepts to tackle the industrial sector's complex production planning problems. The aim is to provide a systematic framework for decision-making, ensuring a comprehensive approach to quality engineering in manufacturing processes. The current study entails considerable practical implications regarding the fridge industry in specific practical ways. Production planning was enhanced by evaluating market demand, manufacturing costs, and sales data using LINGO. Deploying Six Sigma to find the limits on demand, helped reduce production costs while making additional revenue from sales. Sensitivity analysis revealed that by the following year, the firm is expected to have decreased manufacturing costs by 13.13% to minimize expenses, while it is also anticipated to have reduced sales by 1.12% to maximize revenue. The GP technique demonstrated that the Al Kharj fridge industry could optimize sales revenue and costs. The suggestions provided based on these findings are actionable and have the potential to be effectively implemented in the industrial sector.
