Abstract A new model for multi-plant production planning is developed. As the important actual features of some manufacturers, non-repeated setup and aperiodic shipment are appropriately introduced into the multi-plant production planning model and the corresponding constraints are accurately linearized. The new model is also applicable in the case of periodic shipment or backorder prohibition. Its effectiveness is examined by an instance which simulates many real characteristics. The experimental results indicate that the new model achieves the optimal profit. The sensitivity of unit setup cost and unit shipment cost is analyzed. The significance of backorder and the limitation of shipment at a time are discussed in detail.

考虑非重复设置和非周期性出货的多工厂生产计划模型

摘要 提出了一种新的多工厂生产计划模型。作为部分厂家重要的实际特点，在多厂生产计划模型中适当引入了不重复设置和不定期出货，并准确地线性化了相应的约束条件。新模式也适用于定期发货或禁止延期交货的情况。它的有效性通过一个模拟许多真实特征的实例来检验。实验结果表明，新模型实现了最优利润。分析了单位设置成本和单位出货成本的敏感性。详细讨论了延期交货的重要性和一次发货的限制。
