Designing a Control Mechanism for Production Planning Problems by Means of Earned Value Analysis
Siamak Noori, Morteza Bagherpour and Farbod Zorriasatine

Abstract: In this study, a Production Planning Problem (PPP) known as Multi Product Multi Period (MPMP) where the operation sequence is known is described. It is also shown how a mechanism for controlling MPMP can be created by applying Earned Value Analysis (EVA). This mechanism which has not been reported in the literature enables the control of production status and consequently forecasting of the required time and cost for completely fulfilling customer`s demand during a manufacturing process. Thus, it is shown that PPP can be integrated with powerful project control tools such as EVA.
