Abstract:
Production management and control of operations is an improtant and complex problem. This article proposes a two - level hierarchical method for tactical production
planning and production scheduling in operational level. Based on the resultes of design stage, the medium - and short - term production planning problems are formulated.
The objective of the production planning problems consists of mininizing the work - in - process and finished goods inventory for unfulfilled demand. The hierarchical
approach is also tested on an industrial case and the results indicated that work - in
process and finished goods increased in the throughout time by more than 27%.
