Lecture 4 - Production Planning System (Continued). After studying this chapter you will be able to understand: Production planning hierarchy, aggregate planning, why aggregate planning is necessary, inputs, outputs, medium-term capacity adjustments, approaches, pure strategies for the informal approach,. | Lecture 4 Production Planning System (Continued) Books Introduction to Materials Management, Sixth Edition, J.
