A Practical Framework for Overcoming Conflicts in Production Planning and Optimization

Abstract

In the manufacturing industry, conflicts between various objectives in production planning can hinder process efficiency and effectiveness. This often occurs when a company's goals related to cost, time, quality, and production capacity conflict with one another. Therefore, it is essential to have a practical framework that can address such conflicts and optimize the production planning process. This research aims to develop a framework that can assist companies in resolving conflicts in production planning and optimizing their overall production process. The method employed in this study is qualitative analysis, utilizing a case study approach. The researcher analyzed various cases of manufacturing companies experiencing conflicts in production planning, as well as the solutions they implemented to overcome these conflicts. The study's results demonstrate that the developed practical framework can identify the source of conflict and provide solutions to optimize production planning. The multi-objective-based approach, combined with the use of software in production planning, has proven effective in minimizing conflicts between various objectives and enhancing overall production efficiency.
