Aggregate planning involves the best quality to produce during time periods in the intermediatedrange horizon (often 3 months to 1 year) for manufacturing operations aggregate planning involves planning work force size, production rate (work hours per week) and inventory level. The firm should aim for plans, which will ensure that resources are used as wisely as possible and cost kept as low as possible.

best quality to produce during time periods in the intermediated- range horizon (often 3 months to 1 year) and planning the lowest cost method of providing the adjustable capacity to accommodate the production requirements. For manufacturing operations aggregate planning involves planning work force size , production rate (work hours per week) and inventory level. OBJECTIVES 1. To develop plans that are:
a) Feasible: the plans should provide for their portion of
demand that firm intends to meet and should be within the financial and physical capacity of the firm. b) Optimal: the firm should aim for plans, which will ensure that resources are used as wisely as possible and cost kept as low as possible. • To increase the range of alternatives of capacity use that can be considered by the management of the firm. APPROACHES TO AGGREGATE PLANNING
An aggregate planning takes into consideration the overall
level of output and the capacity that is required to produce it. There are two basic approaches to estimating the capacity that will be required to produce an aggregations or grouping of a company’s products. 1. Top down approach: aggregate planning involves development of the entire plan by working only at highest level of consolidates the products into an average product and then develops one overall plan. 2. A bottom-up approach: involves development of plans for major product families at some lower level within the product line. These sub-plans are then consolidated to arrive at the aggregate plan which gives the overall output and the capacity required to produce it
