Scheduling Model in Strawberry Harvesting by Considering Product Decay During Storage

Demand of strawberry from the supermarket required high-quality products with continuous supply. Asgita, an association of strawberry producers, is facing several problems regarding product's supply that will influence their profits. One of the problems was un-integrated supply chain between farmer and Asgita. A scheduling model for strawberry harvesting need to be developed to gain maximal profit.
