摘要:
ABSTRACTMaintaining a stable master production schedule (MPS) is difficult for many firms, especially when material requirements planning is used to manage production operations. This paper is concerned with the problem of measuring MPS stability, and the impact on stability of three important decision variables in managing the MPS within a rolling‐horizon framework in a make‐to‐stock environment: the method used to freeze the MPS, the proportion of the MPS frozen, and the length of the planning horizon for the MPS. Simulation experiments conducted to determine the impact of these decision variables, as well as other important product demand and cost characteristics, on MPS stability are reported. The results indicate MPS stability can be influenced by managerial action directed toward management of the MPS as well as changes in important product cost and requirements characteri
