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
Meeting demand while effectively utilizing a facility Proactive Strategies:
– Produce seasonal complements– Offer discounts and promotions– Increase advertising in slack periods
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
Cost Considerations in Aggregate Planning Payroll Hiring/Firing Overtime Inventory Carrying Subcontracting Back orders, stockouts, lost sales Promotions and discounts

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
