Accurately predicting the required spatial resource for aggregate block assembly in shipyard production is difficult due to the following reasons: 1) lack of optimal block on-jig configuration and 2) the dynamic and stochastic nature of production system. Consequently, managerial objectives are seldom achieved without effective production planning and control. In this study, a look-ahead schedu...

It is wildly believed that the information sharing and cooperation become important now for improving the performance of the retailer and the manufacturer of the short lifcycle product. This paper suggests a way to enhance the competency of short lifecycle products by integrating the markdown pricing policy into the aggregate production planning.An Aggregate Production Planning -Markdown Pricin...

Aggregate production planning for highly re–entrant production processes is typically generated by finding optimal release rates based on clearing function models. For production processes with very long cycle times, like in semiconductor production, dispatch policies are used to cover short term fluctuations. We extend the concept of a clearing function to allow control over both, the release ...

The exchange rate plays an essential role for firms which export goods and import raw materials. In this paper, the effects of real specific exchange rate fluctuations in imports, exports and aggregate trade on industry sector, chemical and transportation industries outputs in 49 OIC countries were investigated by using a panel data model over 1990-2014. Particularly, this paper presents eviden...

Abstract The diversity of products and fierce competition make the stability production cost manufacturing industry more important. So, purpose this paper is to deal with multi-product aggregate planning (APP) problem considering in workforce total costs, propose an efficient algorithm. Taking into account relationship raw materials, inventory product demand, a multi-objective programming model...
