Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aggregate planning involves adjusting capacity in order to meet production requirements, which can involve using the adjustable part of capacity to either increase or decrease supply. Advertising/promotion and overtime/idle time are not examples of manipulating supply or demand in aggregate planning, while work station loading and job assignments are more specific aspects of planning activities. Aggregate sequencing is not an alternative name for aggregate planning.
