The document discusses goal programming and its application to a case study of a medical manufacturing company. It introduces goal programming and describes how it can address multiple goals through deviations from target values. The case study establishes strategic, intermediate, and tactical goals for two medical products related to engineering cost, quality cost, production cost, setup time, delivery reliability and operations cost. A goal programming model is constructed to minimize deviations from these goals. The model is solved in steps to find optimal values for the decision variables to meet the goals.
