Production Planning Decisions

Costs relevant to aggregate
production planning
1. Basic production costs
• Material
• Direct labor
• Overhead
= fixed cost (setup cost) + variable cost
2. Production rate change costs
• Hiring personnel
• Training personnel
• Laying off personnel
• Overtime compensations
• Subcontracting

Approaches for APP
Spread Sheet Method
Trialand Error approach
Easily implemented with a spread sheet
Zero inventory / Level production / Mixed plan
Transportation Method
Linear Programming Models

Example
Last year, Precision made 41,383 gears of various kinds.
There were 260 working days and average of 40 workers.
Forecast demands over the next six months for aggregate
unit are as follows:
Month Jan. Feb. March April May June Total
Demand 2760 3320 3970 3540 3180 2900 19,670
Working days 21 20 23 21 22 22 129

Zero Inventory Plan
41,383 gears/year
Units/worker-day = 4 gears/worker-day
10,400 worker-days/year
demand/month
Workers needed =
days/month x units/worker-day

Transportation Model
A production planning problem with constant
work force can be solved as a transportation
problem.

Extensions
Suppose 90 cases could be made on overtime
in periods 1 and 2, 75 cases in period 3 at costs
of $16, $18, $20 per case, respectively.
Suppose units are backordered at a cost of $5
per unit-month.
Demand of period 1 increased to 400 units.
