| Abstract: | The Twentsche Kabelfabriek (TKF) is a cable manufacturing company located in Haaksbergen that develops, produces, installs and checks cables and cable solutions. In our research, we focus on inventory management and improving the production plan of semi-finished products at the DRAFA, which stands for “draadfabriek” in Dutch. The main problem encountered by TKF is the low delivery reliability of semi-finished products from the DRAFA to the departments Multi Conductor, Energy and Installation. The goal of the research is to develop a tool that manages the inventory of the MTS products based on an appropriate inventory control policy and prototype planning tools to generate and update the medium-term production plan and the short-term production schedule accordingly. We have developed two mathematical planning models that are able to solve the medium-term and short-term production planning problem at the DRAFA while integrating inventory control and lot sizing decisions. |
