Integration of Tactical Aspects into Strategic Production Network Planning

Abstract

Nowadays, production companies are facing an increasingly volatile environment. Due to increasing globalization, but also de-globalization, taking into consideration an internal production network is becoming more and more important for companies, all in order to be able to counteract in an agile way the uncertainties such as swings in the demand. Current production network planning procedures focus on (re-)locating decisions without delving into what happens inside the plants, neglecting the dynamics of production networks, following a rigid top-down approach during the configuration phase, and they do not integrate the effects of planning tasks at the factory level (tactical and operational planning). In order to be able to make strategic decisions with a well-founded database regarding the production network, the effects on the tactical and operational level must be considered in an iterative way during the strategic decision-making process. The aim of this research is to define the requirements for an approach to strategic production network planning, which considers the effects at the tactical and operational level in an iterative way, and to develop a process model, derived from the requirements, that in its five phases considers the deficiencies of the existing approaches.

Facilitando a logística transfronteiriça para as operações de comércio internacional: um estudo de caso de comércio intrafirma

“…Por isso, o planejamento das cadeias de suprimentos globais pode ser considerado mais eficaz do que o planejamento de operações de uma empresa individual no intuito de garantir vantagem competitiva e melhorar o desempenho organizacional (Okongwu, Lauras, François & Deschamps, 2016). Em qualquer configuração de negócios, o planejamento é feito em três níveis, de acordo com o horizonte de tempo: o nível estratégico para longo prazo, o nível tático para médio prazo e o nível operacional para curto prazo (Auberger & Ramsauer, 2020).…”

“…In 1984, Spencer (Smith, 1984) published Make-to-stock (MTS) and its combination mode of assembly problems in the Journal of Operations Management. Immediately afterwards, a number of studies were carried out by numerous scholars around the issue (Auberger and Ramsauer, 2020). Li et al (2008) proposed a revenue management model for make-to-order (MTO) production in manufacturing.…”
