Furniture Industry, Optimization Model, Goal ProgrammingAbstract
The furniture industry is one of the most important sectors in Brazil, standing out for job creation and for a revenue of R$ 79.76 billion in 2021. More than 20,000 companies operate in this market. This study aims to develop an optimization model for a custom furniture manufacturing company located in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. To achieve this objective, an optimization model based on Fuzzy Goal Programming was developed. The results indicate that focusing on the production of specific items can increase profits and reduce raw material costs. Additionally, these findings suggest that concentrating production on selected products helps reduce customer waiting time, thereby increasing customer satisfaction with the service.
