Abstract: Bottle King Solutions Services Inc., a plastic bottle manufacturing company, faces inefficiencies in production scheduling, leading to overproduction and excess inventory. This study aims to develop a production scheduling system that is optimized by reviewing two years of sales data, resource availability, and production limitations. The company typically generates around 97,580 bottles each day, which is higher than the actual requirement of 83,768 units, causing excess inventory and inefficient resource allocation. By utilizing production scheduling methods such as demand forecasting and resource allocation analysis, the study uncovers inefficiencies in labor efficiency, raw material consumption, and equipment usage. Results suggest that synchronizing production schedules with market demand could decrease overproduction by roughly 15%, reduce raw material waste, and enhance machine utilization. The suggested scheduling framework advises adopting a demand-focused strategy, optimizing batch sizes, and improving workforce distribution to boost productivity. These enhancements aim to shorten lead times, decrease storage expenses, and increase operational efficiency, thereby ensuring sustainable growth and profitability for the organization.
