A robust optimization model for stochastic aggregate production planning

open access: yesProduction Planning and Control, 2004
The aggregate production planning (APP) problem considers the medium-term production loading plans subject to certain restrictions such as production capacity and workforce level. It is not uncommon for management to often encounter uncertainty and noisy

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

An uncertain aggregate production planning model for vegetables

2017 13th International Conference on Natural Computation, Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (ICNC-FSKD), 2017
Aggregate production planning is made for the future production and there might be many unpredictable disruptions in actual production, which makes the historical data become unreliable. Meantime, long lead-times, short sales cycle, fast updating speed and volatile markets of the perishable vegetables usually makes the demand, deterioration rate and ...

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.

Fuzzy modelling and simulation for aggregate production planning

International Journal of Systems Science, 2003
The market demands and financial constraints in medium- to long-term production planning are often subject to uncertainties. As an extension of the author's previous paper, this paper focuses on a formulation and simulation analysis for multi-product aggregate production-planning problems with fuzzy demands and fuzzy capacities.

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.

Aggregate planning in crew-loaded production environments

Computers & Operations Research, 1989
Abstract Virtually all existing optimization techniques for the aggregate planning problem incorporate continuous decision variables. However, predetermined shift settings in crew-loaded production operations often require the decision variables to be discrete values.

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.

Accounting for productivity losses in aggregate planning

International Journal of Production Research, 2001
The aggregate planning literature fails to account correctly for productivity losses incurred by employee layoffs and hires. Moreover, the literature is mostly silent on the productivity losses associated with other capacity changes such as multiple shifts and overtime.
