  2. Aggregate Planning Requires • Logical overall unit for measuring sales and outputs • Forecast for intermediate planning period in these aggregate units • Method for determining costs • Model that combines forecasts and costs so that scheduling decisions can be made © 1998 by Prentice Hall, Inc.

  3. Planning • Setting goals & objectives • Example: Meet demand within the limits of available resources at the least cost • Determining steps to achieve goals • Example: Hire more workers • Setting start & completion dates • Example: Begin hiring in Jan.; finish, Mar. • Assigning responsibility © 1998 by Prentice Hall, Inc.

  7. What’s Needed for Aggregate Planning • A mathematically based aggregate planning model requires considerable: • time • problem definition • model development • model verification • model application • expertise • people who understand the problem • people who understand both the modeling process, and the specific model • money • money to pay for all of the above • often requires funding for several people for several months! © 1998 by Prentice Hall, Inc.

  8. Aggregate Scheduling • Provides the quantity and timing of production for intermediate future • Usually 3 to 18 months into future • Combines (‘aggregates’) production • Often expressed in common units • Example: Hours, dollars, equivalents (e.g., FTE students) • Involves capacity and demand variables © 1998 by Prentice Hall, Inc. A Simon & Schuster Company Upper Saddle River, N.J. 07458 Transparency Masters to accompany Operations Management, 5E (Heizer & Render) 13-12

  9. Aggregate Scheduling Goals • Meet demand • Use capacity efficiently • Meet inventory policy • Minimize cost • Labor • Inventory • Plant & equipment • Subcontract © 1998 by Prentice Hall, Inc. A Simon & Schuster Company Upper Saddle River, N.J. 07458 Transparency Masters to accompany Operations Management, 5E (Heizer & Render) 13-13

  10. Aggregate Planning StrategiesPure Strategies • Capacity Options — change capacity: • changing inventory levels • varying work force size by hiring or layoffs • varying production capacity through overtime or idle time • subcontracting • using part-time workers © 1998 by Prentice Hall, Inc. A Simon & Schuster Company Upper Saddle River, N.J. 07458 Transparency Masters to accompany Operations Management, 5E (Heizer & Render) 13-14

  11. Aggregate Planning StrategiesPure Strategies • Demand Options — change demand: • influencing demand • backordering during high demand periods • counterseasonal product mixing © 1998 by Prentice Hall, Inc.

  16. Aggregate Scheduling Strategies • Mixed strategy • Combines 2 or more aggregate scheduling options • Level scheduling strategy • Produce same amount every day • Keep work force level constant • Vary non-work force capacity or demand options • Often results in lowest production costs © 1998 by Prentice Hall, Inc. A Simon & Schuster Company Upper Saddle River, N.J. 07458 Transparency Masters to accompany Operations Management, 5E (Heizer & Render) 13-20

  17. Aggregate Scheduling Methods • Graphical & charting techniques • Popular & easy-to-understand • Trial & error approach • Mathematical approaches • Transportation method • Linear decision rule • Management coefficients model • Simulation © 1998 by Prentice Hall, Inc. A Simon & Schuster Company Upper Saddle River, N.J. 07458 Transparency Masters to accompany Operations Management, 5E (Heizer & Render) 13-21

  18. Controlling the Cost of Labor in Service Firms • Close control of labor hours to ensure quick response to customer demand • Some form of-on-call labor resource that can be added or deleted to meet unexpected demand • Flexibility of individual worker skills to permit reallocation of available labor • Individual worker flexibility in rate of output or hours of work to meet demand © 1998 by Prentice Hall, Inc.
