ABSTRACTThis paper describes a goal programming procedure for determining satisfactory output plans for a work center. The situation being modeled is one in which work center inputs are known but vary significantly across time periods. Input levels are fixed relative to a given master production schedule, and output levels can be varied only within certain prescribed limits, at least in the short term. The similarity of the output planning problem to the more familiar aggregate planning problem is noted and discussed.
