  • Abstract
    We describe extensions to the on-line hierarchical scheduling scheme for flexible manufacturing systems of Kimemia and Gershwin. Major improvements to all levels of the algorithm are reported, including algorithm simplification, substantial reductions of off-line and on-line computation time, and improvement of performance. Simulation results based on a detailed model of an IBM printed circuit card assembly facility are summarized.
