Abstract :
In this paper, we suggest an extension of the shifting bottleneck heuristic for complex manufacturing systems that takes an automated material handling system (AMHS) into account. We use the heuristic within a rolling horizon approach. Simulation experiments with models of manufacturing systems with process conditions similar to those found in semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities (wafer fabs) are performed.
