Production planning and scheduling for an integrated container company

Production Planning and Scheduling for Container Company * an Integrated

-This paper describes a hierarchy of models and information systems being developed by integrated producers of corrugated containers to aid in the process of planning and scheduling their operations. The initial focus is on eight easily identifiable decision areas and the tools available to deal with them. The eight decision areas are paper machine loading, master scheduling, trimming, boxcar l...

Proterv-II: An Integrated Production Planning and Scheduling System

Medium-term production planning and short-term scheduling match future production load and capacities over various horizons and on different levels of detail. Although these two levels of the decision hierarchy are strongly interdependent, traditional systems handle them separately. In the Proterv-II prototype system that was developed for manufacturing industries, the two levels are linked by ...

An integrated production-marketing planning model With Cubic production cost function and imperfect production process

The basic assumption in the traditional inventory model is that all outputs are perfect items. However, this assumption is too simplistic in the most real-life situations due to a natural phenomenon in a production process. From this it is deduced that the system produces non-perfects items which can be classified into four groups of perfect, imperfect, reworkable defective and non-reworkable d...

An improved genetic algorithm for multidimensional optimization of precedence-constrained production planning and scheduling

Integration of production planning and scheduling is a class of problems commonly found in manufacturing industry. This class of problems associated with precedence constraint has been previously modeled and optimized by the authors, in which, it requires a multidimensional optimization at the same time: what to make, how many to make, where to make and the order to make. It is a combinatorial,...
