Abstract:

Heuristic approaches were devised for operator scheduling in manned Grouped Technology (GT) cells. The heuristic approach consists of (1) Cycle Switching Rules (CSR) to deal with production environments covering a longer decision horizon, and (2) Dynamic Scheduling Rules (DSR) to deal with environments covering a shorter decision horizon. They differ in information requirements and decision horizons. In simulation experiments, it is shown that there is a predictable trade-off between the quality of the resulting schedule and the information content of heuristics used.
