Abstract:In this paper a linear programming (LP) model for aggregate production planning is given. This is a general model that can be used in various production situations. It optimizes the monthly planning of human resources, production quantities and inventories on the medium term (e.g. a 12 month planning horizon) for a multi-department, multi-product production facility. A computer programme was developed for the model, making use of a standard LP package. In practical applications savings of up to 33% of variable… Show more
