Abstract: A recently proposed goal programming approach to aggregate planning of production rates and work force levels is reviewed and it is pointed out that there is very little difference between the "new approach" and the earlier Hansemann and Hess linear programming formulation. It is noted that the HMMS model used as a test vehicle in the original article can also be viewed as a goal programming formulation. Some more general opinions on the role of modelling in decision making are also included.
