The Use of Earned Value Analysis in Production Control with Uncertainty Conditions

摘要

Multi Period-Multi Product (MPMP) production planning problems are well-known in the literature and several researches had been carried out in this area. However, designing a well organized control mechanism in terms of time-cost point of views had not been taken into considerations. In this paper, such a control mechanism is implemented successfully using earned value analysis which is well-known in project management context. The approach uses fuzzy progress measurement through earned value calculations where the nature of project is associated with uncertainty conditions. In this way, four different control chart approaches have proposed in order to detect the status of production using linguistic terms. The results in each case presented through the MPMP problem appropriately.
