Abstract
The production process of rubber glove is the continuous production line which the hand-shaped ceramic molds are installed and dipped into the concentrated latex to form the rubber gloves. Since, the rubber gloves are diverse in terms of size, surfaces and types of latex, the multiple molds and latex are changed and used in a production process in order to produce rubber gloves from customer requirement. Thus, the changing of mold is extremely complex for production ratio which the rubber glove production planning will be employed to meet anticipate customer orders. This research therefore develops the mathematical model to find the optimal quantity of molds and rubber gloves production planning. Finally, the developed model is applied to an example data set to find the minimum total volume of rubber gloves in every mold for keeping the minimal volume of inventory. ฉ ECMS Thorsten Claus, Frank Herrmann, Michael Manitz, Oliver Rose (Editors).
