Aggregate planning for production

Business Horizons, 1967
Abstract At its inception modern aggregate planning does pose difficulties, but these can be overcome—with results that greatly benefit the manager. For example, in developing this kind of planning one might have to consider whether inventory or size of the work force would absorb demand fluctuations.

Introduction to Aggregate Planning and Strategies

2021
In this chapter, we discuss what aggregate planning is and how managers exploit various strategies in aggregate planning. A demand prediction for the planning time frame (usually 2–18 months) is required to establish an aggregate plan. Then, this aggregate plan provides an intermediate-term plan that determines the production rate, subcontracting ...

A reformulation of the aggregate planning problem

Journal of Operations Management, 1986
AbstractThis article proposes a reformulation of the aggregate planning problem which more closely agrees with situations frequently encountered in practice. The proposed reformulation assumes that a firm's production planners want to determine the expected service and inventory levels for a given production profile in the face of uncertain seasonal ...

Plans, Planners, and Aggregates Mining

Journal of Planning Education and Research, 2000
Planners often face disparate objectives in regulating the mining of aggregate minerals (sand, gravel, and crushed stone). In this article, the author uses the Baltimore-Washington region to examine how local jurisdictions manage aggregate minerals and the factors that help explain planners’ attitudes toward mineral protection.

The Disaggregation of Aggregate Manpower Plans

Management Science, 1976
Aggregate manpower plans can be made operational only if they are translatable into shorter range assignments of personnel to specific work groups, operations, and products or services. This paper describes a combined heuristic programming and simulation algorithm amenable to this process of decomposition.

Optimal Disaggregation of Aggregate Production Plans

Management Science, 1971
Aggregate Production Planning (APP) is concerned with a minimum cost adaptation of some production process to demand fluctuations, by means of controlling overall production rate (P) and workforce size (W). Disaggregation aims at allocating P and W to individual products such that an optimal sales program is obtained.

Aggregation of Product Data for Hierarchical Production Planning

Operations Research, 1981
When applying an aggregate view to production planning, the production system is given a hierarchical structure. The problem description at the upper level (which is less detailed) concerns product groups and machine groups rather than individual products and machines. This means that product structures and capacity requirements also must be expressed

Forward planning for aggregate production

2019
This project was commissioned with the aim of modernising the production planning systems at CRMC through the introduction of a numerical based tool capable of planning production ahead of time. Project Aim This project consisted of three major goals: 1. Develop an understanding of quarry production systems 2.
