Optimal Planning of Product Mix for Subcontracting Companies
نویسنده
چکیده
. Aggregate planning models as linear program (LP) are formulated in this paper. The uses of models for various examples of production outsourcing and planning the optimal Product Mix are demonstrated. The results of analyzes for different situations are given. The models to solve the problem of optimal Product Mix development, conditions determination under which outsourcing is profitable for a firm are proposed. The goal is not so much to provide specific solutions to particular problems, but rather to illustrate general problemsolving approaches.

An Algorithm Based on Theory of Constraints and Branch and Bound for Solving Integrated Product-Mix-Outsourcing Problem
One of the most important decision making problems in many production systems is identification and determination of products and their quantities according to available resources. This problem is called product-mix. However, in the real-world situations, for existing constrained resources, many companies try to provide some products from external resources to achieve more profits. In this pape...
متن کاملSolving a generalized aggregate production planning problem by genetic algorithms
This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) for solving a generalized model of single-item resource-constrained aggregate production planning (APP) with linear cost functions. APP belongs to a class of pro-duction planning problems in which there is a single production variable representing the total production of all products. We linearize a linear mixed-integer model of APP subject to hiring...

متن کاملAggregate Planning: Opportunities and Challenges between Developed and Developing Countries
Aggregate planning (AP) is a crucial step of the production planning procedure. It is the process by which a company determines optimal levels of capacity, production, subcontracting, and inventory for its long term planning. This paper presents a comparative analysis related to the impact of social and economic factors on building reliable aggregate plans for companies operating in an internat...
