Abstract: |
Flexibility and
in particular volume flexibility is an important topic for industrial manufacturing
companies. In this context, the harmonization of the available and required
capacity is a central task, especially with increasing fluctuations in
customer demand. In classical approaches, this is considered only by the use of
additional capacities and there are only a few approaches that combine aspects
of personnel planning with production planning. Therefore, this article presents
a linear optimization model for master production scheduling that includes
aspects of personnel requirements planning. It is used to investigate different
strategies for the use of overtime and temporary workers in order to achieve
different levels of volume flexibility. With regard to the monetary and social
impacts, the results indicate that overtime has a stronger influence to achieve
volume flexibility than the use of temporary workers. However, both are affected
by substantial deficits in human working conditions. But the results also
imply a promising potential for improving the social aspects without a significant
increase in costs. |
