Abstract

Recent trends in automated manufacturing call for hierarchical decision architectures for production planning, suitable for integration with part flow controls. Different design approaches are currently adopted for implementing production planning architectures, depending either on the objective of defining a centralized production plan for the whole manufacturing system (as in the case of MRP and OPT), or on the desire of coordinating local plans for the component work cells (as for JIT). The paper analyzes such approaches by use of a unifying mathematical formulation of the production plan optimization problem, to recognize the main features of the existing planning approaches, and compare their usefulness in different manufacturing processes.
