Abstract
In practical manufacturing settings it is often possible to obtain, in real-time, information about the operation of several machines in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) that can be quite useful in scheduling part flows. The authors introduce some scheduling policies that can effectively utilize such information and they provide sufficient conditions for the stability of two such policies
