A Proposal of Order Planning Method with Consideration of Multiple Organizations in Manufacturing System

Manufacturing system includes multiple business organizations having different decision criteria such as factories, salespersons and customers. It is important to maximize the overall profit while considering the objectives of each organization by appropriate adjustment. In this study, we propose the order planning method using the credibility about salespersons. This proposed method adjusts the due date between the salesperson and the customer by considering the margin time, and then derives effective production schedule by solving the optimization problem that minimizes the weighted sum of the tardiness from due date and makespan. Several computational experiments are conducted so as to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
