Book Global Supply Chain Group   s Guide to Production Planning

Download or read book Global Supply Chain Group s Guide to Production Planning written by Vivek Sood and published by Global Supply Chain Group. This book was released on 2011-07-13 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Right in the centre of the bull’s eye, in the middle of the supply chain management universe, sits production planning and scheduling. Whether you are making to order, or making to stock, or something in the middle (such as assemble to order, or sub-assemble to order, or some other variant of the postponement strategy), production planning is where the demand meets the supply in its most brutal reality. Err on one side, and you make too much, and waste. Err on the other side, and you make too little, and run out. The pressure is intense, the stakes are very high and nobody is happy – no matter how much you reconcile the opposites. Yet, you have to do this on a daily basis in every production plant. This report helps you do it as best as you could.

Book Advanced Planning and Scheduling in Manufacturing and Supply Chains

Download or read book Advanced Planning and Scheduling in Manufacturing and Supply Chains written by Yuri Mauergauz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a guide to modern production planning methods based on new scientific achievements and various practical planning rules of thumb. Several numerical examples illustrate most of the calculation methods, while the text includes a set of programs for calculating production schedules and an example of a cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Despite the relatively large number of books dedicated to this topic, Advanced Planning and Scheduling is the first book of its kind to feature such a wide range of information in a single work, a fact that inspired the author to write this book and publish an English translation. This work consists of two parts, with the first part addressing the design of reference and mathematical models, bottleneck models and multi-criteria models and presenting various sample models. It describes demand-forecasting methods and also includes considerations for aggregating forecasts. Lastly, it provides reference information on methods for data stocking and sorting. The second part of the book analyzes various stock planning models and the rules of safety stock calculation, while also considering the stock traffic dynamics in supply chains. Various batch computation methods are described in detail, while production planning is considered on several levels, including supply planning for customers, master planning, and production scheduling. This book can be used as a reference and manual for current planning methods. It is aimed at production planning department managers, company information system specialists, as well as scientists and PhD students conducting research in production planning. It will also be a valuable resource for students at universities of applied sciences.
