Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Aggregate production planning models are of the greatest importance to operations management, since these plans enable management to utilize the major resources at its command. In this report the structure of the aggregate planning problem and a number of different approaches are reviewed and presented.

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The job shop scheduling problem, in which we must determine the order or sequence for processing a set of jobs through several machines in an optimum manner, has received considerable attention.

Approaches are classified in two categories: a) analytical techniques and b) graphical methods. Also, it should be noticed that this report does not include all the attempts and trials, especially the heuristic approaches.
