Aggregate production planning model under demand uncertainty: A case study in an Indonesian cement company

A LINEAR PROGRAMMING MODEL FOR PRODUCTION PLANNING: AN IRANIAN CASE STUDY IN CEMENT

Production planning and inventory control efforts are known as the driving engines of manufacturing systems. The manufacturers, competing to survive in these days’ competitive business environment, aim to satisfy customers’ needs. This requires a precise production plan throughout the supply chain. These days, because of the increasing costs of production and distribution, especially in the cem...

Multi-period, Multi-product, Aggregate Production Planning under demand uncertainty by considering Wastage Cost and Incentives

Aggregate production planning (APP) involves the simultaneous determination of company’s production, inventory and employment levels which fall between the broad decisions of long range planning and detailed short range planning. A mathematical model is formulated to investigate the optimal decision on each planning period. The goal is to minimize the total relevant costs considering time varyi...

A General Strategic Capacity Planning Model under Demand Uncertainty

Capacity planning decisions affect a significant portion of future revenue. In equipment intensive industries, these decisions usually need to be made in the presence of both highly volatile demand and long capacity installation lead times. For a multiple product case, we present a continuous-time capacity planningmodel that addresses problems of realistic size and complexity found in current p...

Robust Optimization of Multi-Period Production Planning Under Demand Uncertainty

A multi-period distribution network design model under demand uncertainty

Supply chain management is taken into account as an inseparable component in satisfying customers' requirements. This paper deals with the distribution network design (DND) problem which is a critical issue in achieving supply chain accomplishments. A capable DND can guarantee the success of the entire network performance. However, there are many factors that can cause fluctuations in input dat...
