Abstract:
This work addresses the problem of reallocating productive resources to maximize profit. Most con-tributions to the topic focus on developing or improving the Cost-Volume-Profit model to obtain solutions that provide an ideal mix of products before the data is given. In particular, some algo-rithms are available for the problem, such as the ones proposed by Kakumanu and Shao and Feng. However, these proposals do not consider the minimum number of units to be produced, and the real-location of productive resources for each product is a problem found in these studies. Bearing this in mind, a new algorithm based on individual financial revenue is proposed. Computational results indicate that the proposed method can be utilized as a decision support system.
