本研究以TFT-LCD產業為例，探討供應網路之生產規劃問題。該產業因製程繁瑣，故可分為陣列(Array)、組立(Cell)與模組(Module)三大製程階段，此外隨著產品應用層級日益增廣，各製程階段皆不斷地擴建大世代廠來提升產能與技術，因而形成多階多廠的生產鏈結構。在如此複雜的網路結構下，本研究將以全面性的觀點來規劃所有的廠區，同時考量生產廠區路徑限制、組立廠的面板切割造成流進與流出量的不同、物料供給限制、廠區與產品族產能限制等特性，以得出準確的生產計劃。
針對TFT-LCD供應網路之生產規劃問題，本研究提出可同步規劃各廠區生產計劃的演算法，演算法採兩大規劃階段來增加資源分配的彈性。首先階段一透過產能限制式的釋放，決定各筆訂單的最佳生產路徑，並將負荷配置其上；階段二再納入產能限制並依據階段一的配置結果進行負載平衡，透過判斷負載類型(Judge)、訂單前推(Pull)、訂單移至替代廠區(Offload)與訂單後推(Push)四大步驟，將超出產能上限的部份挪動至其他生產時點或生產路徑，以在交期內滿足顧客需求。
最後，透過案例的驗證，確認本研究方法於實務上的可行性，且具有求解大量資料的能力。而於實驗分析中，更證實本研究所提出的演算法於環境變動下，要比文獻中所提出的演算方法具有較佳的績效表現，包括：高需求滿足率與低生產鏈成本，足以提供業界人員作為生產規劃的依據。
