Aggregate Production Scheduling by Linear Programming With Variable Planning Interval, 363-69 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Practical insights on using linear programming for production scheduling in the real world. This book centers on how a theoretical technique can become a usable, fast‑response planning tool in a cash‑constrained company. It presents a case study of implementing an LP‑based system to coordinate hundreds of materials, processes, and products, with a focus on making the model work for people, not just computers.
The work blends theory with hands‑on design choices, showing how to match static optimization to dynamic, messy environments. It trades abstract formulas for a system that can run on limited hardware and still deliver prescriptive, feasible, and global guidance. Although the case centers on a specific company, the discussion covers how to handle changing prices, multiple production stages, and the need for quick re‑planning.
- How an LP model can represent large, interlinked production decisions, from raw materials to finished goods.
- Strategies for keeping a planning system usable by non‑quantitative staff while staying responsive to market changes.
- Lessons on building, testing, and maintaining complex planning tools within real‑world constraints.
- Tips for assessing information delays, plan stability, and the value of re‑planning in practice.
Ideal for readers of operations research and management science who want a concrete, case‑driven view of aggregating production planning with linear programming.

Aggregate Production Scheduling by Linear Programming With Variable Planning
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the potential of linear programming (LP) when paired with variable planning intervals in aggregate production scheduling. It does so in the context of a meat-packing operation but with broad applicability to similar industrial environments. The author was motivated to write this book after successfully implementing an LP-based planning system at the Peerless Provisioners, a pork-oriented meat packer. The author illustrates the key issues raised by the use of LP that informed the design of the Peerless Provisioners system. These include how best to aggregate model data, how to present output to management, and how often to run the model and present output. Throughout the book, the author provides examples from Peerless Provisioners to illustrate the discussed concepts and emphasizes the importance of designing a system that guides management but does not drive it, and that can respond quickly to changes in the market. This book is theoretically sound but practically grounded, making it an excellent resource for anyone interested in understanding how to apply statistical techniques to production scheduling. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
