| Abstract | In this study the problem of aggregate production planning is studied in the context of heavy manufacturing industry. A product classification procedure is used to group the products into a few classes. A mathematical model is then developed to minimize the total
cost of production. The basic model is then transformed into a Linear Programming model to solve for the optimal production plan. The model is then applied to a heavy mechanical equipment manufacturer in Pakistan to test its applicability. A post optimality analysis is conducted to investigate the effect of various cost coefficients, and to draw
conclusions. |
