Abstract

This article is a mathematical model to make decisions in the aggregate production planning of a pump manufacturing company. The mathematical formulation proposed is based on process selection and lot-sizing models. The aim is to help the planners in selecting the industrial processes used to produce pumps and the inventory strategy. The planning period is one year and decisions are taken on a discrete time. A case study was developed in a pump manufacturing company. Under mixed strategy, both inventory and workforce levels are allowed to change during the planning horizon. Thus, it is a combination of the “chase” and “level” strategies. This will be a good strategy if the costs of maintaining inventory and changing workforce level are relatively high. Optimization models are generally used to determine an optimum mixed strategy. In this paper, we use Python program to optimize the problem.
