Operative production planning utilising quantitative forecasting and Monte Carlo simulations
Abstract: Demand forecasting is very often used in production planning, especially, when a manufacturer needs in a longer production cycle to respond flexibly to market demands. Production based on longer-term forecasts means bearing the risk of forecast unreliability in the form of finished product inventory deficit or excess. The use of computer simulation allows us to improve the planning process and optimise the plan for the intended goal. This paper presents the use of quantitative forecasting and computer simulations to create the production plan. Two approaches to production plan creation are demonstrated in a model case study. Products are characterized by varying demand and are produced on a single production line in continuous operation. The first approach uses ARIMA (2,0,2) (Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average) prognostic method selected as the most reliable method based on MAPE (Mean Absolute Percent Error). The second method applies Monte Carlo simulations and optimisation. The aim of the plan optimisation is minimisation the total costs connected with line rebuilding and storage of products. The comparison of the two approaches shows that planning using computer simulations and optimisation leads to lower total costs.
