摘要
This work presents a novel interactive possibilistic linear programming (PLP) approach for solving the multi-product aggregate production planning (APP) problem with imprecise forecast demand, related operating costs, and capacity. The proposed approach attempts to minimize total costs with reference to inventory levels, labor levels, overtime, subcontracting and backordering levels, and labor, machine and warehouse capacity. The proposed approach uses the strategy of simultaneously minimizing the most possible value of the imprecise total costs, maximizing the possibility of obtaining lower total costs, and minimizing the risk of obtaining higher total costs. An industrial case demonstrates the feasibility of applying the proposed approach to real APP decision problems. Consequently, the proposed PLP approach yields an efficient APP compromise solution and overall degree of decision maker (DM) satisfaction with determined goal values. Particularly, several significant management implications and characteristics of the proposed PLP approach that distinguish it from the other APP decision models are presented. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
