Planning production with sizing of human resources in automotive industry
Résumé
In automotive industry, the assembly plants are facing new requirements. These ones result in new constraints and risks for suppliers, such as the components manufacturing plants, which are the object of our study. This paper is dealing with the production planning problem in components manufacturing plants. We thus present two linear models which help the manager in taking the best decisions. The first model makes it possible to establish customers' needs planning for the production workshop with a sizing of human resources. The second enables to balance the production distribution. We apply this tool on real data, coming from a plant producing damper rods, and the obtained results are compared to the current situation.
