This study discusses the optimization of production plans using a dynamic programming through a case study on the one of a convection company. Fluctuating demand requires the convection company to implement a strategy to control the production process so that there are no shortages or excess products. The purpose of this study is to find out the total minimum costs with respect to school uniform production plans for the monthly-period demands of next one year. The initial step used in the production planning is by estimating the monthly-period demands of products for the next one year based on the monthly-period demands of previous 3-years. The implementation of dynamic programming brings to break down the case problem into 12 stages with respect to the monthly periods of the next one year. This study results in the total minimum cost of production plan for the next twelve months. Therefore it convinces that the production planning through dynamic programming is able to maintain the existence of a convection company due to its significant advantages of the approach for future production planning.
