| Abstract | Due to the current economic recession in Thailand, many manufacturers encounter fierce
competition. To survive in this current situation, the firms should improve their overall
performance and productivity to make them more competitive in the marketplace.
This study attempts to investigate inefficient performance of material management
activities such as material planning, store and inventory control and then suggests
approaches to improve performance in order to increase customer satisfaction.
After investigation performance indices shows that production planning is a common
cause that makes performance low. An aggregation and disaggregation plan is proposed
to solve the problem. Procedure to make an aggregate and disaggregate production plan is
setup for the company.
Software is developed to reduce the complexity of a production cycle in the disaggregate
stage that contains much iteration. The result of this software is a master production plan in terms of length of time depending on input from the aggregation plan. |
