Tempeh Chips Production Optimization System using the Simplex Method

In producing tempeh chips, the company has limitations such as the availability of raw materials and daily production capacity. The simplex method is used to calculate the optimal amount of production in one day and find out how many products are produced. The aim of this research is to assist Production Managers in calculating the amount of production time carried out and knowing the optimal number of products produced from each production. Based on the results of this analysis has been implemented then the application of the Simplex Method can be implemented to produce $\mathbf{1 x}$ production of salty tempeh chips and $2 x$ production of sweet tempeh chips with a total production of $\mathbf{3 5 0 0}$ kilos per day so that the company can maximize the use of raw materials, machines and production capacity and optimize the number of products produced. The system to be built has three users, namely Production Manager, Production Staff, and Warehouse Staff. The output of the system that will be built is to assist the Production Manager in calculating optimal production requirements every day, as well as assisting in making production plan decisions for each day.
