Abstract The Brazilian textile supply chain is very important for the economy as it generates employment and increases regional development. This project proposes to study the production planning problem in a spinning industry. Planning the spinning implies the sizing and sequencing of the yarn production lots. Moreover, the blending of the cotton bales is a fundamental problem to guarantee the quality of the produced yarns. The aim of this project is to study some specificities of the production environment of a spinning industry. Extensions and reformulations for the models presented in the literature are proposed. In addition, the solution method HOPS (Hamming-Oriented Partition Search) can be adapted to deal with the new models. As project results, the models will be more realistic and liable to be applicable in practice, besides enriching the production planning literature. | |
