Uncertain aggregate production planning

Soft Computing, 2012
Based on uncertainty theory, multiproduct aggregate production planning model is presented, where the market demand, production cost, subcontracting cost, etc., are all characterized as uncertain variables. The objective is to maximize the belief degree of obtaining the profit more than the predetermined profit over the whole planning horizon.

Aggregate plans for multiagent systems [PDF]

International Journal of Agent-Oriented Software Engineering, 2017
We introduce the notion of 'aggregate plan', as a specification of the collective behaviour of a team of agents embedded in space. Aggregate plans are managed by self-organisation: they can be spread from a source agent, get iteratively diffused to the whole MAS, and be dynamically selected and carried on by each agent based on its local deliberation ...

Aggregate Production Planning

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011
This report reviews the particulars provided in a case study that requires engineering analysis in reviewing the operations of a furniture manufacturer's processes in determining how best to meet the demand projections while holding the expenditures for this organization.

Mathematical Models for Aggregate Planning

2021
In this chapter, we construct three mathematical models for aggregate planning. We start with a basic model that includes workforce requirements, inventory levels, and stock-out. Then, we spread the model such that the fixed cost of manufacturing products in a period is included. We also change the model to include promotion programs.

Comparing two aggregate planning models

Omega, 1993
Abstract The sensitivity of the linear programming (LP) model to forecast errors in aggregate planning (AP) is evaluated and its performance compared with that of the production switching heuristic (PSH) model. Two versions of the PSH, the popular three-level model and a two-level extension, are considered. While the LP tends to outperform the PSH in

A Model for Aggregate Financial Planning

Management Science, 1972
Financial planning in the firm is a dynamic process requiring that a variety of liquidity, profitability, capital structure, growth and stability variables be simultaneously considered. In recent years widespread attention has been given the time-wise interdependencies involved, but the focus has been conceptual and not directed to yield an ...

Aggregate planning in hybrid flowshops

International Journal of Production Research, 1998
We present a linear programming based heuristic for the solution of a class of aggregate level planning problems in hybrid flowshops (flowshops with several machines per stage). First, the general planning problem is modelled as multi-level with parallel processors, multi-item, capacitated, lot-sizing with set up times.

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.

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.

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.
