Research on Two-Stage Multi-Site Capacity Planning Model

Because of current strong globalization trend, manufacturers and planners are more willing to cooperate in many aspects such as purchasing, production, planning and so on. Accordingly, multi-site capacity planning should also be done in order to maximize the overall interests. Firstly, the difference between multi-site capacity planning and traditional capacity planning is discussed. Then a two-stage multi-site capacity planning system is put foreword and mathematical model is constructed. Finally, the practical case is given to verify the validation of the proposed model.
