Abstract :

To development and survival, organizations need to make the optimal decision for their resources. With regard to the organization goals, determining the quantity and composition of products have been the main concerns of managers in recent years. Therefore, goal programming can be used for solving these problems with multiple and sometimes conflicting objectives. In this paper, it is tried to calculate the planning amount of two productions (liquid and solid Dimethyl terephthalate (DMT)) with regard to the FIPCO's goal limitations. After determining limits and priorities of the goals, the objective function was cleared.  Then Lexicography technique and Iterative approach were applied to solve the model. After analyzing outputs, the amount of two productions, liquid, and solid Dimethyl terephthalate will respectively decrease 3% and increase 21% compared to the initial planning amount.
