Integration of ill-known requirements in production planning
Abstract
This paper addresses the integration of ill-know requirements (imprecision or uncertainty on f quantities or due dates) in a requirement plan (expressed in terms of quantities by periods). Ill-known requirements may come from a customer of the supply chain (forecast orders) or from a make-to-order production release. The types of imperfections on these requirements are analysed and a representation model based on mathematical models of uncertainty is proposed. Moreover, a method is proposed to compute the requirement plan without loss of information. This method is illustrated on an example.
