The Role of Heuristic Methods as a Decision-Making Tool in Aggregate Production Planning

Author

  • Mahmood B. Ridha

Abstract

This study aims to explain the role of heuristic methods in the decision making process and as a tool for knowledge capture. As a result, we conclude that heuristic methods give better support to the decision maker than mathematical models in many cases especially when time and cost are critical factors in decision making.
