Abstract

In a competitive environment, an industry’s success is directly related to the level of optimization of its processes, how production is planned and developed. In this area, the master production scheduling (MPS) is the key action for success. The object of study arises from the need to optimize the medium-term production planning system in a textile company, through genetic algorithms. This research begins with the analysis of the constraints, mainly determined by the installed capacity and the number of workers. The aggregate production planning is carried out for the T-shirts families. Due to such complexity, the application of bioinspired optimization techniques demonstrates their best performance, before industries that normally employ exact and simple methods that provide an empirical MPS but can compromise efficiency and costs. The products are then disaggregated for each of the items in which the MPS is determined, based on the analysis of the demand forecast, and the orders made by customers. From this, with the use of genetic algorithms, the MPS is optimized to carry out production planning, with an improvement of up to 96% of the level of service provided.
