Study of the implementation of a production mix optimizer for the beef sector

This paper proposes the implementation of a mix optimization tool for the beef sector, particularly for meat packing plants. The implementation of a mix optimization tool involves different areas of the organization, since this is a systemic tool for creating a market-oriented master production plan based on aggregate finite capacities, which optimizes the company's profitability. The article discusses the dimensions involved in the implementation of such a project and the main benefits resulting from it.
