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 production planning using spreadsheet software

Production Planning & Control, 1994
Abstract Firms can benefit by developing and using aggregate production plans. However, reports of ongoing production planning applications are rare. The complexity of production planning models has been cited as one of the reasons that firms do not develop formal production plans.

Aggregate Production Planning Using Genetic Algorithms

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture, 1995
An aggregate plan is a statement of future resources and finished goods inventory levels that must be made available to enable a manufacturing organization to meet its forecast sales demand. The aggregate planning process must enable the strategic business objectives of a manufacturing organization to be quickly converted into short-term operational ...

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

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.
