An integrated plant capacity and production planning model for high-tech manufacturing firms with economies of scale

Capacity planning in supply chains of mineral resources

“…However, the rich literature in this area focuses on highly aggregated models, which ignores the impact of queues and congestions, hence rendering these publications inapplicable for the problem considered in our paper. For example, in [28,13], the models do not go below the plant level. If transportation is considered at all, then it is considered either as traveling salesman type models (see for example [14]) or as very aggregated flows of commodity.…”

Developing a plant system prediction model for technology transfer

“…The necessity of performance evaluation has been stated by Gunasekaran, et al (1994) and Mefford and Bruun (1998), and performance measurement systems have been proposed by Hsu andLi (2009) andde Lima et al (2013). However, in the performance model, the plant capacity is not a performance to be estimated but a decision variable, or the qualitative necessity to consider the performance is stated.…”

Determining the capacity and its level of utilization in make-to-order manufacturing: A simple deterministic model for single-machine multiple-product case

“…Manufacturer's total production cost depends mainly on capacity utilization of the plant. Market demand, capacity and production assignment within the plant also determine manufacturer's total production cost [13].…”
