Sumario:This research presents an optimal production plan in a pharmaceutical company, specif-ically in the parental solutions area (serums). In the designed model, the productive sys-tem restrictions were identified for the mathematical model development using operation research. The presentation of the mathematical model makes it possible to determine the ideal product production and the presentation of its aggregate planning regarding with its costs, as well as it allows to plan systemically each element in the manufacture of the products, achieving this work from an optimal quantitative perspective instead of producing on experience and historical data. The mathematical model designed for this case achieves optimal production through the efficient use of the process resources. The final result was a model that can be applied to any parental solution product wanted to be produced. In addition, it allows scenarios and opportunities identification by exploiting the demand restriction, thus achieving the optimal use of materials, raw material, labor and supplies. The tool can be used in any period of time. JEL: C61 Optimization Techniques, programming models, dynamic analysis.
