The document discusses various topics related to production planning and control, including demand forecasting, aggregate production planning, scheduling, workforce planning, materials requirement planning, capacity planning, production control using just-in-time, and shop-floor control. The objective of production planning and control is to make appropriate decisions around resource acquisition, utilization, and allocation given constraints. This includes determining workforce levels, production lot sizes, overtime assignments, and production sequencing.

35. Aggregate Production PlanningObjectiveTo generate a medium-term production plan

36. To establish rough product mix

37. To anticipates bottlenecks

38. To align capacity and workforce plans.It is usually done for next 2 to12 months.Demand changes over a period of time at a faster rate than the resources. Aggregate planning offers strategies to absorb these fluctuations.10Dec-10

39. Aggregate Production PlanningGuidelines for Aggregate PlanningDetermine demand for each period

40. Consider company policies that may have impact

41. Determine capacities for each period Regular time, overtime, subcontracting, etc.Identify backorder or inventory amount

42. Determine costs of operation
