  • Abstract
    Production scheduling on a flexible manufacturing system is a mixed continuous combinatorial optimization problem. Closed queueing network analysis is the technique we used to solve the continuous problem. Around it a rule based module has been established to heuristically solve the combinatorial problem. Two schedulers have been implemented, considering shorter or longer intervals of time, both based on the new solution paradigm for production scheduling.
