Abstract: | Abstract This paper discusses an integer programming technique for planning production when there are multiple plants involved in the production of a number of products and the plants are relatively close. This allows for the closing of one plant during a planning period with a shift of the mobile resources, mainly labour, to other plants. The model is introduced and then an example problem is given. Finally, there is a discussion of why this method improves upon other techniques proposed to solve this problem. Some actual case studies are cited. |
