Abstract :
A closed-loop job release mechanism for job shops where the main source of randomness is due to machine failure and repair is introduced. The release policy adapts concepts of the reorder-point method of inventory control to the context of job-shop scheduling. The control mechanism, called starvation avoidance, is compared empirically with other input control mechanisms on several semiconductor wafer manufacturing job shops with favorable results
