Introduction
Ideal supply chain Infinite capacity and zero lead time impossible We need plans with different levels
• Strategic plans -- aggregate plans -- operational plans
Aggregate planning “A process by which a company determines planned levels of ca
pacity, production, subcontracting, inventory, stockouts, and even pricing over a specified time horizon”
Key question• How can a firm best use the facilities it has?
Decisions made at a product family (aggregates, not SKU) level Planning horizon of 3 to 18 months

Aggregate Planning Problem
Aggregate planning as optimization problem (typical) Objective
• Profit maximization
Input• Forecasted demand
• Unit cost of each resource
• Cost of inventory, stockout, backlog
Constraints• Capacity, supply chain network configuration
Output• Production rate, machine capacity level
• Workforce, overtime, subcontracting
• Inventory on hand, stockout (backlog or lost sales)
Supply chain coordination (global optimization)?

Aggregate Planning Problem
Identifying aggregate units of production Examples of aggregate units
• Number of final production items
• Weight or length of output
• Hours of lobar
• Dollars of sales
Simple approach to aggregating product mix• Weighted average, bottleneck process, ...
Effective capacity consideration
Identifying input for planning Example (Table 8-1)

Aggregate Planning Strategy
Tradeoff max. profit min. (cost capacity + inventory + stockout)
Heuristics Chase strategy
• using capacity as the lever
Flexibility strategy• using utilization as the lever
Level strategy• using inventory as the lever
Mixed strategy
Optimal approach?

Aggregate Planning Using LP
Example: Red Tomato Tools Demand forecast (T = 6)
Costs
Others• Initial inventory: 1,000, final inventory: 500, initial workforce: 80
• 20 working days per month, $4 per hour regular time, 8 hours per day
• At most 10 hours of overtime per month
Decision variables• Wt, Ht, Lt, Pt, It, St, Ct, Ot
Is it linear?

Aggregate Planning Using LP
Analysis Revenue over planning horizon Average inventory = ((I0 + IT)/2 + t=1..(T–1) It)/T
Average time in inventory = (average inventory) / (total demand)
Impact of higher demand variability Revised demand forecast
Impact of lower costs of hiring and layoff Revised costs of hiring and layoff: 50$ each
Coping with forecast error Maintaining buffers of safety inventor and/or safety capacity
