Supply Chain Management, considered as a tool for the synchronization of material flow, aims to control the bullwhip effect. This phenomenon is mainly caused by demand uncertainty and is propagated by decision rules at the different stages of the supply chain. The tactical planning level is the most appropriate level to dampen this demand amplification. In particular, Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) is the first level which consider demand in the planning process while Master scheduling allows to get item production schedules. Thus, the idea is to get a maximum of stability into the planning process in order to dampen the bullwhip effect. This paper propose a global disaggregation approach leading to stable master schedules according to initial global demand forecasts. This approach is based on two levels of disaggregation using MIP models.
