CV Saswco Perdana is a company that runs in clothing or apparel industry. CV Saswco Perdana has three product line and has six brands. Currently the company has 50 employee that work in production division with total capacity can reach 2.500 dozens per month. Otherwise, based on previous data the average demand for 2014 is 730,76 dozens per month and for 2015 the average of demand is 596,935 dozens per month. According to those situation, there is a high level of idle workers that can be occur. So, the company needs to adjusting their workers in order to optimizing their resources and minimizing the total cost. And one of the operations management?s tool that company can use is aggreate planning strategy. Because by using aggregate planning the company can determines the ideal levels of capacity, production, subcontracting, inventory, stockouts, and even pricing over a specified time horizon (for this research, the time horizon is among 12 months). The research aimed to know the best of aggregate planning strategy that can be implemented by CV Saswco Perdana in order to fulfill the forecasted demand in period 2016 from 5 alternative aggregate planning strategies that conducted in this research, wich are: pure chase strategy, pure level strategy, overtime strategy, optimization using linear programming, and mix strategy by varying workforce and overtime, by minimizing unmeet demand and the low cost as key performances. The methodology used is quantitative method. Primary data are collected from interview with Operations Director and General Manager at CV Saswco Perdana.
