Abstract: This paper studies the mid-term production planning of high-tech low-volume industries. Mid-term production planning (6 to 24 months) allocates the capacity of production resources to different products over time and coordinates the associated inventories and material inputs so that known or predicted demand is met in the best possible manner. High-tech low-volume industries can be characterized by the limited production quantities and the complexity of the supply chain. To model this, we introduce a mixed integer linear programming model that can handle general supply chains and production processes that require multiple resources. Furthermore, it supports semi-flexible capacity constraints and multiple production modes.
