Limits on overtime are one of the typical constraints for an aggregate planner. Other typical constraints may include production capacity, lead time, and demand variability. Inventory holding cost, labor/machine hours required per unit, and stockout or backlog cost are factors that may be considered in determining the optimal production plan but are not constraints in and of themselves.
