Production Switching Heuristics for the Aggregate Planning Problem

open access: yesManagement Science, 1978
A number of approaches to the aggregate planning problem have been proposed in the literature, yet experience suggests that industrial concerns seldom use these models in actual planning situations. This paper describes a modified random walk production-inventory heuristic for the problem which should appeal to managers on the basis of simplicity as ...

Aggregate production planning with workforce transferring plan for multiple product types

Production Planning and Control, 2003
This paper presents the aggregate production planning for multiple product types where the worker resource can be transferred among the production lines. A mathematical model was formulated in spreadsheet format. Then the spreadsheet-solver technique was used as a tool to solve the model.

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.
