A Note on Goal Programming Approach to Tea Industry of Barak Valley of Assam

Application of Goal Programming in industry is an important tool to planners. A Goal programming model regarding tea production in Barak Valley[7] and its extension developed here have been presented. The proposed models yield optimal solutions. It is very easy to understand which can serve managers by providing optimal solution to different goals involving production, profit, demand etc. With the help of numerical example, the proposed models have been validated. Finally analyses of the results obtained have been carried out. It is found that total production goal can be achieved along with other goals in both the models. The two models are compared and the former is found to be more efficient than latter.
