Abstract
Material requirement planning (MRP) is a plan for the production and purchase of the components used in making items in the master production schedule. It shows the quantities needed and when manufacturing intends to make or use them. In this paper, as an extension of work reported by Yenisey (2006), where optimization of material flow in MRP had been presented, a goal programming model is used to minimize production cost, minimize holding cost and minimize costs of the extra time used by resources, and the costs of the lazy time of resources. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the usefulness and significance of the Goal programming model for Optimization of Material Requirement Planning. A set of real data from an automobile Gearbox manufacture is used to test the effectiveness and the efficiency of the proposed model. The model of the example case is solved and the computational results are given. The corresponding results show that the proposed models can help manufacturers make better decisions when they have multiple objectives.
