Abstract:

A real-world, multi-stage, industrial scheduling problem is presented. An algorithm is described that converts a sequence of jobs into a complete schedule. Backward simulation is used to determine minimum storage requirements when scheduling each job, and to calculate the minimum amount of delay required. Combining this algorithm with a metaheuristic, such as simulated annealing, results in an effective algorithm for schedule optimization.
