Proposing an Aggregate Production Planning Model by Goal Programming Approach, a Case Study

Abstract

Production planning is one of the most important functions in the process of production management. Production planning in the intermediate range of time is termed as "aggregate production planning (APP)". Aggregate production planning is an important upper level planning activity in a production management system. The present study tries to suggest an aggregate production planning model for products of Hafez tile factory during one year. Due to this fact that the director of the company seeks 3 main objectives to determine the optimal production rate, the linear goal planning method was employed. After solving the problem, in order to examine the efficiency and the distinctiveness of this method in compare to linear programming, the problem was modeled just by considering one objective then was solved by linear programming approach. The findings revealed the goal programming with multi objectives resulted more appropriate solution rather than linear programming with just one objective.

Análisis comparativo de modelos de planificación agregada. El caso de las empresas manufactureras colombianas

“…Los modelos de programación por metas, que pueden comprenderse como una extensión de los modelos clásicos de programación lineal, son empleados normalmente en el contexto de la planificación agregada de la producción, por su capacidad para resolver problemas que en los cuales se establecen objetivos múltiples o inconmensurables (Mansoureh & Shirouyehzad, 2014). Debe admitirse que, aunque los programas lineales y los modelos construidos bajo el paradigma multicriterio poseen estructuras homólogas, tienen la particularidad de introducir variables auxiliares catalogadas como desviaciones, que representan el distanciamiento entre los niveles de aspiración para un atributo correspondiente.…”

Penentuan Kapasitas Produksi Dengan Metode Simpleks Pada Ukm Di Kota Batam

“…Tujuan tersebut harus diubah dalam bentuk matematis agar program linier dapat dijalankan. Tujuan tersebut menjadi biaya produksi sebesar x dolar, kecepatan produksi paling sedikit harus sesuai dengan permintaan, dan kecepatan produksi harus sesuai dengan kapasitas mesin atau stasiun kerja (Farzam Rad & Shirouyehzad, 2014).…”

Pareto-based algorithm for adaptive aggregate production and distribution planning in shrimp agroindustry supply chain

“…APP is medium-term planning that aims to make a strategy to determine amount of production, inventory and workforce level in order to meet luctuating demand [2,3,4]. APP is also important for shrimp agroindustry to determine optimal production planning with capacity availability.…”
