Algorithms for Scheduling Multi-Level Just-In-Time Production Systems

Abstract

Many companies are using Just-In-Time (JIT) control systems in their mixed-model multi-level production facilities. When scheduling these facilities the most important objective is to keep a constant rate of usage for every part used by the system. In this paper a mathematical model for scheduling these facilities is studied and techniques for determining good schedules are developed. Procedures for solving very large problems are given. Handled by the Department of Scheduling, Planning and Control. Handled by the Department of Scheduling, Planning and Control.
