Statecharts model and heuristic scheduling of a production process
2011 15th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems, 2011Modern factories often employ elaborate manufacturing information systems involving a computer network and various databases. In practice, it often happens that soon after a plan or schedule has been generated, an unexpected event happens that forces the decision-maker to make changes.

Common cycle scheduling in a multistage production process
Engineering Costs and Production Economics, 1990Abstract The conventional approach to the common cycle problem assumes a single production stage and takes into account only the setup costs and the carrying costs of finished inventories. This approach is limited to a single stage production process because the carrying costs of in-process inventories which are inherent in any multistage production ...

Master Production Scheduling for a Process Industry Environment
International Journal of Operations & Production Management, 1994Previous research has not addressed the problem of developing a master production schedule (MPS) for production systems with minimum batch‐size production restrictions. Proposes a weighted integer goal‐programming model for the development of a rolling horizon master production schedule, under conditions of demand certainty, for a process industry ...

Scheduling of Production with Alternative Process Plans
2014This chapter deals with a scheduling problem with alternative process plans that was motivated by a production of wire harnesses where certain parts can be processed manually or automatically by different types of machines. Only a subset of all the given activities will form the solution, so the decision whether the activity will appear in the final ...

Scheduling approach for concurrent product development processes
Computers in Industry, 2001Abstract A heuristic scheduling approach is proposed for the concurrent product development processes, in which some crucial parameters are determined using the genetic algorithm (GA). Scheduling concurrent activities is of great significance to shorten development lead-time and minimize costs, since it can eliminate unnecessary redesign periods and ...

Optimal inter-process steel production scheduling
Computers & Operations Research, 1988Abstract Optimal scheduling of production through the hot strip mill of a steel manufacturing facility is characterized by multiple and conflicting objectives. A production strategy designed to achieve maximum product quality may be expensive and cumbersome in terms of overall throughput while a strategy that achieves high volume production may ...

Multilevel Scheduling of Multistage Production with Limited In-Process Inventory
Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1987A multistage, multiproduct production scheduling with limited in-process buffers between the successive stages is considered. Each stage is made up of identical parallel machines. The problem objective is to determine an assignment of products to machines over a scheduling horizon, which minimizes the completion time of the production order, with the ...

Interaction of the Decision Maker in the Process of Production Scheduling
Advanced Materials Research, 2014In the paper the role of the decision maker in the process of production scheduling is discussed. A general procedure specifying the activities carried out within the framework of particular steps of scheduling is shown. The scope of the interactions of the decision maker in the scheduling process under conditions of real time system is commented.

Concepts for Integrating Process Planning and Production Scheduling
1999Integration between different phases of the production process is one of today’s key issues in manufacturing. This is so for process planning and shop floor control as well. Process planning creates work instructions to manufacture a part and shop floor control schedules and executes these instructions to get the final products on time and with ...
