  27. Aggregate Planning Objectives • Minimize Costs/Maximize Profits • Maximize Customer Service • Minimize Inventory Investment • Minimize Changes in Production Rates • Minimize Changes in Workforce Levels • Maximize Utilization of Plant and Equipment

  28. 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

  29. Aggregate Planning StrategiesPure Strategies • Demand Options — change demand: • influencing demand • backordering during high demand periods • counterseasonal product mixing

  30. Advantage/Disadvantages of Aggregate Planning Options See Table 13.1

  31. Mixing the options:The Extremes Chase Strategy Level Strategy Production equals demand Production rate is constant

  32. Aggregate Planning Strategies • Level planning strategy • Produce same amount every month • Keep work force level constant • Find alternative work for employees when there is less demand • Vary non-work force capacity or demand options • Inventory levels allowed to fluctuate • Often results in lowest production costs • Toyota, Nissan employ this strategy

  33. Aggregate Planning Strategies • Chase planning strategy • Output rates match demand • Vary work force level • Hiring/laying off • Vary non-work force capacity or demand options • Overtime and outsource • Part time employees • Service industries often utilize this strategy • Hospitality, construction, education
