On Solving a Large-Scale Resource Allocation Problem in Production Planning

  • Conference paper
Operations Research in Production Planning and Control

Abstract

Various production planning problems can be described and solved with Linear Programming (LP) models. In manufacturing applications setup often plays an important role. To solve a setup problem 0–1 variables must be introduced in the model, which leads to an increase in the model size and computational effort. This paper discusses several models to consider setup times in production planning. A decomposition methodology that does not consider the integrality of all 0–1 variables at once, but successively, is outlined. Results for an application in the modeling of the IBM Sindelfingen Multi-layer-ceramics (MLC) Punching area, are discussed.
