摘要:
A method and computer program product for scheduling product lots through operations of a manufacturing line. The method including: selecting a sequential subset of a set of sequential operations required to manufacture the lots; partitioning the product lots into designated lots and non-designated lots; and generating a release schedule for each of the non-designated lots into one or more operations of the sequential subset of the set of sequential operations; generating a release schedule for each of the designated lots into each operation of the sequential subset of the set of sequential operations such that for each designated lot a total amount of time measured from completion of a first operation of the sequential subset of the set of sequential operations through start of a last operation of the sequential subset of the set of sequential operations does not exceed a target amount of time for the designated lots.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method and system for efficiently modeling the situation where a product manufactured within a multi-stage manufacturing system has components upstream in the supply chain which may substitute for one another. The invention selectively permits substitutions based on rules associated with downstream operations or customer shipments. One component may substitute for another provided that the assembly consuming the component belongs to a certain set of assemblies. The invention also encompasses a method by which this can be integrated into a production planning system based on a linear programming (LP) model.
