Linear programming is a mathematical modelling technique for solving optimization<br />

problem. It has been used to solve optimization problem in many industrial areas such<br />

as manufacturing, time tabling, transportation and many others. The purpose of this<br />

study is to formulate a Linear Programming model for maximizing the profit of Harold<br />

Bread Bakery. Other aspects such as, processing time, the raw material, workers<br />

working hour and other global factor such as economic problem will be considered to<br />

gain the maximum profit. This study also focuses on the sensitivity analysis due to<br />

change of the cost of each ingredient. The optimum result will be obtained by using the<br />

Microsoft Excel solver. This study will beneficial to Harold Bread Bakery and other similar<br />

manufacturing company by introducing the approximate way to estimate their company<br />

daily profit in production of bread.<br />
