| Abstract: | The paper presents a Decision Support System (DSS) for the production planning of Agricultural pesticide. The unique features of pesticide production are identified and the resulting planning trade-offs are explained. The DSS consists of six loosely coupled modules. A mathematical programming model forms the basis of the DSS, whose objective is to minimize the total cost of production. The model is also designed to capture seasonal demand fluctuations, variations in labour cost, source, cost and availability of raw material and plant operating mode. |
