Competitors' behavior and economic conditions are external factors that the firm cannot control but need to consider when developing their aggregate operations plan. The market demand and inventory levels, subcontractor capacity and current workforce, and raw material availability and inventory levels are all internal factors that the firm has more control over and can adjust as needed during the planning process. Economic conditions and current physical capacity could be either internal or external factors depending on the specific context.
