Project Scheduling Approach to Production Planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We suggest a novel approach to modelling and solving production planning (PP) problems in make-to-order production environments. This approach unifies the capacity and the material flow oriented aspects of PP. Orders are modelled as projects that compete for limited resources. The projects consist of networks of variable-intensity activities which may require several resources at the same time. The goal is to generate production plans that satisfy all the temporal and resource constraints and minimize additional or external resource usage over the planning horizon. The model is applicable at different aggregation levels of PP, as we show with two real-life case studies. Although the capacity and material flow aspects of PP are coupled, a special solver developed for the project model efficiently solves problems of real-life sizes .

A Hierarchical Production Planning and Finite Scheduling Framework for Part Families in Flexible Job-shop (with a case study)
Tendency to optimization in last decades has resulted in creating multi-product manufacturing systems. Production planning in such systems is difficult, because optimal production volume that is calculated must be consistent with limitation of production system. Hence, integration has been proposed to decide about these problems concurrently. Main problem in integration is how we can relate pro...

Production scheduling (planning) of an open-pit mine is the procedure during which the rock blocks are assigned to different production periods in a way that the highest net present value of the project achieved subject to operational constraints. The paper introduces a new and computationally less expensive meta-heuristic technique known as imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) for long-term...
متن کاملProject-oriented Approach to Production Planning and Scheduling in Make-to-order Manufacturing
In this paper, we present a unified framework for production planning and scheduling in make-to-order manufacturing. Both planning and scheduling problems are captured as resource-constrained project scheduling problems. The actual models and solution techniques are different at the two levels. Hence, we also suggest an aggregation method that provides the connection between planning and schedu...
متن کاملA New Uncertain Modeling of Production Project Time and Cost Based on Atanassov Fuzzy Sets
Uncertainty plays a major role in any project evaluation and management process. One of the trickiest parts of any production project work is its cost and time forecasting. Since in the initial phases of production projects uncertainty is at its highest level, a reliable method of project scheduling and cash flow generation is vital to help the managers reach successful implementation of the ...

Production planning and control (PPC) systems have to deal with rising complexity and dynamics. The complexity of planning tasks is due to some existing multiple variables and dynamic factors derived from uncertainties surrounding the PPC. Although literatures on exact scheduling algorithms, simulation approaches, and heuristic methods are extensive in production planning, they seem to be ineff...
