چکیده
The AMP-AKZO Riverhead Circuits Division is responsible for manufacturing printed circuit boards. Scheduling problems have resulted from both physical and operating constraints. The AMP-AKZO PROVISA Scheduling System ( A P S S ) was developed to better manage order due-date and plant throughput performance. The fully integrated system is made up of the Production Control Inventory System (PCIS), and the PROVISA scheduling system The A P S S automates the majority of routine scheduling decisions, and provides capabilities to recover from unplanned events, such as machine breakdowns. Furthermore, the system provides "what-if" analysis capabilities to test scheduling alternatives and opportunities. The A P S S is capable of forecasting very accurate schedules and can be used as a continuous improvement tool. Since released to production in February 1994, the scheduling system has improved the company's overall scheduling effectiveness. Consequently, AMP-AKZO has reported an increase in both order due-date and plant throughput performance.

Nowadays, cross docking plays an important role in the supply chain networks especially in transportation systems. According to the cross dock system advantages such as reducing transportation costs, lead times, and inventories, scheduling in a cross-dock center would be more complicated by increasing the number of suppliers, customers and product types. Considering the cross dock limited capac...
