Description
Summary:This paper discusses development of a customized job shop scheduling application. Effective shop floor control relies heavily on the scheduling of part production through work centers. Production without part schedules and sequences is inefficient for job shops. Standard off-the-shelf scheduling software will typically not do the job. Customized scheduling software was developed to both increase manufacturing control while meeting all the requirements of a job shop's production processes, using the least slack rule for sequencing parts in order to meet final assembly schedules.
