Abstract: Abstract In particular production environment, e.g. some machining shops and semiconductor test stations, multiple resources are simultaneously needed to perform an operation. To conduct capacity planning with cooperative resources, we propose two methods to construct compact linear programming models, i.e. Generalized Step-Separated Formulation and Generalized Workload Allocation Formulation. These modeling methods are extended from the existing modeling methods for capacity planning only with independent resources. Generalized Workload Allocation Formulation weakens the application scope of the uniformity assumption made in the previous formulation for independent resources. Dimension analysis and comparison shows that Generalized Workload Allocation Formulation generates less decision variables and constraints than Generalized Step-Separated Formulation.
