Abstract
The furniture industry is one sector that is still widely used in the current era (Marsella et al., 2021). Production planning is used to obtain results that can meet consumer demand by minimizing resources and still maximizing production results (Tae et al., 2023). The aim of production planning for each industry is of course to obtain maximum profit, including the Palembang Sejahtera Furniture Store. Palembang Sejahtera Furniture Store is an industry that produces various kinds of products such as tables, chairs and cupboards. To solve this problem, the appropriate method was determined, namely the simplex method. The simplex method is one of the procedures used to solve linear programming problems (Marsella et al., 2021). This research was conducted at the Palembang Sejahtera Furniture Store located at Jln. Perumnas Market Broadcast No. 96 Sako. The data collection method used in this research is to obtain the information needed to prepare the report, so the author uses several research methods, namely observation, interviews, documentation and literature study. The data processing method used in this research is the method used in this research, namely using Linear Programming analysis using the simplex method. The results of this research showed that the maximum profit from the production of cupboards was 3 units, while for the production of chairs and tables it was 0, meaning that no production needed to be produced, to achieve an optimal profit of IDR 2.490.000,-.
