Production capacity and raw material storage capacity in agriculture-based industries

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study is to find production capacity and storage capacity of raw material warehouses in agriculture-based industries. It is a concern; the supply of raw materials can only be done during the harvest period while production must continue throughout the year. This case occurs in the coffee processing industry, where the supply of raw materials for the harvest period is from April to August while production must be carried out every day throughout the year. To model, the problem is used by simulation using deterministic variables. Various capacity scenarios are tested to see system performance. The results that industries with raw materials from agriculture must prepare a very large raw material storage capacity.
