Introduction What – Determine the quantity and
timing of production for the immediate future
Where – To meet forecasted demand
Why – Minimize costs
The Planning Process Aggregate planning ties strategic
goals to production plans Medium range – 3 to 18 months Requires:
Measure of sales and output Forecast of demand for the period Method of determining costs Model that combines forecasts and

Capacity Options Change inventory levels Change workforce size Change production rates Subcontracting Using Part-Time Workers
MRP Introduction What – Plan requirements for
components Where – Where components of a
product are known Why – Individual component needs
are dependant on the aggregate plan
Dependant Inventory Model Requirements Master Production Schedule Bills of Material
Modular bills Planning bills Phantom bills
Accurate Inventory Records Purchase Orders Oustanding Lead Times for Each Component
Short Term Scheduling Introduction What – Scheduling or timing of
operations Where – Timing of operations
affects the overall strategy Why – Reduce costs, improve
response
Scheduling Forward Scheduling Backward scheduling Scheduling criteria
Minimize completion time Maximize utilization Minimize work-in-process Minimize customer waiting time
Objective: Optimize resources so that production objectives are met
Scheduling in Process-Focused Work Centers Job shop, low volume, high variety Schedule incoming orders without
violating capacity constraints Check availability of tools and materials
before releasing an order Establish due dates and check progress Check work in progress Provide feedback Monitor work efficiency statistics
Sequencing Jobs at Work Centers Priority Rules
First Come, First Served Shortest Processing Time Earliest Due Date Longest Processing Time
Critical Ratio Time Remaining / Workdays
Remaining Highest Critical Ratio is selected
for processing next
Limitations of Rules Scheduling is dynamic Rules do not look upstream or
downstream Rules do not look beyond due
dates
