Abstract

Linear programming is an operational research technique widely used to identify and optimize management decision. Its application encourages businesses to increase their output. Instead, however, many organizations most commonly adopt the trial-and-error method. As such, companies find it challenging to distribute scarce resources in a manner that maximizes profit. This study focuses on implementing linear programming to optimize the profit of a manufacturing sector based on the optimized (best possible, efficient) use of raw materials. Our study uses the data gathered on five market bread types from Baker's Cottage reports, i.e., chicken floss, spicy floss, Frank Cheese, Mexico bun, and doughnut. This attribute has been recognized as a linear programming problem mathematically built that was solved using Excel software. The result showed that the Baker’s Cottage unit had to produce 332 loaves of Chicken Floss and 196 loaves of Frank Cheese, as these products objectively contributed to the profit. In contrast, other types of bread did not have to be produced, as their value turned to zero to achieve the maximum monthly profit.

Abstract

This study seeks to explore recent trends in publications related to problem-based learning (PBL) and critical thinking (CT). It analyzes annual growth rate, document type, source, languages, and subject area to assess their impact. This study identified publications by countries, analyzed authorship, and highlighted the most active institutions. It examined prevalent PBL and CT themes by analyzing keyword occurrences, source titles, and abstracts. A bibliometric approach was used to map existing research on PBL and CT from the Scopus database. The data were analyzed through the VOSviewer software for data visualization, Microsoft Excel 365 for frequency analysis, and Herzing’s Publish or Perish software for citation metrics. The findings demonstrated a growing combination of PBL and CT with an increasing demand. Articles, journals, English, and social sciences were the increasing types of publication documents (TP). The United States published the most documents. Donnelly, J. from Three Rivers Community was the top researcher in PBL and CT publications. Hong Kong Polytechnic University had the highest average citations per publication. The keyword “PBL” was frequently employed, and nursing education journals significantly impacted PBL and CT publications. Simultaneously, engineering and thinking skills were frequently employed terms in the title abstract and title field.
