This research has been funded partly by a project of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, entitled ‘Development of fuzzy mathematical programming models for production planning in the context of uncertainty. Application to an industrial company of the automobile sector’ (Ref. PPI-06-05/ 5703), and partly by a project of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science, entitled ‘Simulation and evolutionary computation and fuzzy optimisation models of transportation and production planning processes in a supply chain. Proposal of collaborative planning supported by multi-agent systems. Integration in a decision system. Applications’ (Ref. DPI2007-65501).

N2 - Production planning consists in the simultaneous determination of the production, inventory and capacity levels of a company on a finite planning horizon with the objective of minimising the total costs generated by production plans. This article mainly focuses on proposing a reference model for conceptual modelling of production planning processes. Firstly, a methodology for the identification and analysis of inputs, outputs, processes and subprocesses for the conceptual modelling of production planning processes is described. Then, this methodology is applied to develop a general conceptual model which can be used as a reference model by planners and researchers who need to model their own production planning processes.
