In this study, a quantitative approach is used by means of operations research to solve an aggregate production planning (APP) problem for a biscuit manufacturing plant. By implementing this production plan, manufacturing excess of biscuits can be avoided and hence utilizes the physical and human resources to the optimum manner.
