This article contributes in particular the to further research on the social dimension. It pre-sents a linear optimisation model for Master Produc-tion Scheduling in order to improve human working conditions. Existing approaches have already identified a considerable potential for improvements. Further-more, this article analyses the influence of the compa-ny size on workload and costs using an application with a high proportion of manual activities. It is demonstrat-ed that human working conditions can be improved independently from the company size without increas-ing costs. In addition, smaller companies tend to have a higher exhaustion and the workload affects the total costs more in smaller companies. Therefore, smaller companies might benefit more from an improvement in human working conditions.
