Resumen:
This paper presents a mathematical model aimed at optimizing the
yearly profit of a concentrated apple and pear juice plant through the appropriate
design of its production plan. This study assumes a business scenario where
the products are devoted to the international market and therefore the production
schedule is dictated by a fluctuating prices scenario due to the worldwide
supply/demand tradeoff. Moreover, raw fruit is available only during the relatively
short harvest season and suffers juice yield reduction during storage. In
this context, decisions related to the manufacturing of each juice variety to exploit
favorable prices, while minimizing juice yield loss due to fruit aging are
not intuitive. Scenario studies, together with sensitivity analysis on some model
parameters are developed to illustrate the performance of the proposed approach.
