Aggregate planning is a technique for adjusting production to the ups and downs of demand. An aggregate plan gets its name from the fact that it must include demand forecasts, resources and capacity and express these as an aggregate, or combined, strategy. This type of planning covers a period of two to 12 months --- sometimes as much as 18 months, depending on your company's ability to project demand. Setting objectives through aggregate planning may help your small business run more efficiently.
