A Solution for the Aggregate Production Planning Problem in a Multi-Plant, Multi-Period and Multi-Product Environment

چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a linear mathematical model for the Aggregate Production Planning problem for a forestry company operating several sawmills. Considering different types of raw materials, different production parameters, and a group of sawmills, the industry tries to identify the best levels of production, of subcontracting production, and of inventory to satisfy the demand for different product families in order to maximize its revenue. The linear model is solved efficiently with two linear programming software Cplex 8.1 and Xpress-Optimizer 16.10.02, and numerical results indicate the superiority of the latter.

Product mix problem (PMP) is one of the most important and complicated problems in production systems. Different approaches have been applied to solve this problem, among them, theory of constraints (TOC) has been widely considered since 1990s. This paper develops a distinguished algorithm to solve product mix prob-lems that is efficient both in single and multi-bottleneck problems. At first, t...
