| Abstract: | This paper presents a new framework for manufacturing planning and control systems which may be called iterative manufacturing planning in continuous time (IMPICT) that appears to have several advantages over the well-known material requirements planning (MRP) framework. IMPICT explicitly considers capacity constraints and total system cost to determine order sizes, order release/due dates, and operation schedules in a deterministic, multi-level, finite horizon, dynamic demand environment. Continuous time scheduling variables allow setups to be carried over from one period to the next. |
