Hierarchical Production Planning: Tuning Aggregate Planning with Sequencing and Scheduling

  • Conference paper
Multi-Stage Production Planning and Inventory Control

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems ((LNE,volume 266))

Abstract

The first part of the paper describes the production planning problem of a major German food manufacturer and the hierarchical production planning system designed for solving it.

In the second part a major deficiency of Linear Programming models for aggregate planning of batch production is worked out. To remedy the defect the inclusion of ‘effective lot size demand’ within the Linear Programming model is proposed. Numerical results conclude the paper.
