Production planning can help companies reduce the production costs and increate the benefits. But it is very difficult engineering problem. The production problem of a manufacturer group is described and analyzed. Then its production planning mathematics models are set up. The production planning problem is converted into transportation problem, and it is imbalance in production and marketing. After it is analyzed and excess production capacity is considered, the imbalance transportation problem is converted into standard transportation problem. Then several mathematics methods and software tools are adopted to solve it. Finally the optimal solution is obtained after much alternation and calculation. The best production scheme with minimum total cost of production is formulated for the manufacturer group, accordingly a lot of cost is reduced for the group
