An approach to process production reactive scheduling

ISA Transactions, 2004
Process manufacturing has some characteristics that make it different from other types of industry. In practice, there are many examples of process industrial settings where production resources are shared and there is no intermediate storage between two processing units.

Dynamic Production Scheduling for a Process Industry

Operations Research, 1994
Capacity-oriented production scheduling can be described as the assignment of competing products to several single level, capacitated production lines over a given planning horizon. This study was initially motivated by the production planning of various types of tiles by a tile manufacturing company.

Production transportation scheduling for process industry

2010 Second International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Natural Computing, 2010
Production transportation scheduling problem with constraints is common in process industry. But it is a NP-hard problem. In this paper, the production transportation scheduling problem between a plant that produces intermediate products and a finishing plant which processes the intermediate products in finished goods is studied.

Optimal inter-process steel production scheduling

Computers & Operations Research, 1988
Abstract 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 ...

Production Scheduling in Food Processing Plants

Transactions of the ASAE, 1985
IN multi-product processing plants, when product demand exceeds the production capacity, the production planning and scheduling function becomes very important anc exceedingly difficult. The impact of poor scheduling can be significant in any plant. Therefore plant managers are forced to use modern (computer-aided) production scheduling techniques to ...

A Scheduling Process Applied to Newspaper Production

2006 International Conference on Service Systems and Service Management, 2006
This paper proposes a support system which helps in deciding the allocation of resources for newspaper production. The system is structured starting from a covering model with the objective of determining the best sequencing of n tasks in m machines, obeying the schedule of delivery of the tasks.

Scheduling system for multi-process production

Computers & Industrial Engineering, 1996
Abstract This is a study of a scheduling method, and its application in a multi-process production department, by which is meant one having numerous process, each with its own unique process sequence. Typically, production sites have many product items that need to go through a series of process sequences in different machines in order to be ...

Scheduling approach for concurrent product development processes

Computers in Industry, 2001
Abstract 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 ...
