This article has aimed to make a prediction of the amount of the court service, Fold and Armor Ready for a company cutting, folding and transport of steel. The study was conducted by modeling the problem in linear programming, in order to maximize the profit made by the company upon the demand of construction for the service and also by the constraints identified in its production line, they are: labor, shift, energy, rent, market demand, machinery available, among others. We used the Solver tool to solve the problem. Reached the conclusion that to achieve the real profit is 568.320,00 units in 1900 need to be developed cutting and bending steel with real cost of 267.66, and to provide the 100 frames service the maximum cost should be 597.66. Thus, it was observed that the modeling of the problem will give greater objectivity to the financial return over operating costs.
