  1. Aggregate Planning COB 300 C The Operations Dimension Busing

  2. Aggregate Planning • The development of a plan for: • Output rate for groups or families of products • Inventory levels to be maintained • Production backlogs • Changes in work force to support production strategy over the medium time horizon

  3. Meeting demand while effectively utilizing a facility • Proactive Strategies: • Produce seasonal complements • Offer discounts and promotions • Increase advertising in slack periods

  4. Meeting demand while effectively utilizing a facility • Reactive Strategies • Change number of employees • Overtime/slack time • Add/eliminate shifts • Plant shutdowns • Use inventory • Subcontract work • Backlogs/backorders • Lose sales

  5. Cost Considerations in Aggregate Planning • Payroll • Hiring/Firing • Overtime • Inventory Carrying • Subcontracting • Back orders, stockouts, lost sales • Promotions and discounts

  23. Chase versus Level Plans • Varying workforce (chase demand) • substantial hiring/firing costs • inventory carrying cost low to zero • workforce skill & dedication low • Varying inventory (level workforce) • low to zero hiring/firing costs • inventory carrying costs could be substantial • workforce skill and dedication high • may incur stockouts/backlog
