摘　　要：Many crops in China have two or more harvesting methods;however,little research has focused on this phenomenon.The current study proposes an operational model that looks to maximize grower profits.This model considers a production plan for a perishable crop that has two harvesting methods:harvesting unripe produce at a lower operational cost but with a long lead time,and harvesting ripe crops at a higher operational cost but with quick turnaround.This study proposes a heuristic algorithm by which to pinpoint the optimal plan for the model;the model results indicate that for a crop with two harvesting methods,significant savings can be obtained by applying an optimal production plan.The current study’s main contribution is a production model for crops that feature two harvesting methods and for which the market poses varying demands.
