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 ...

A managerial perspective on aggregate planning

International Journal of Production Economics, 1995
Abstract Aggregate Planning first appeared in the literature nearly 40 years ago and has proven a popular topic for research ever since. However, industry seems to have ignored repeated claims that there are algorithms available which would yield significant cost savings.

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.

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.

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
