The Perspectives of Taylor, Gantt, and Johnson: How to Improve Production Scheduling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The challenge of improving production scheduling has inspired many different approaches. This paper examines the key contributions of three individuals: Frederick W. Taylor, who defined the key planning functions and created a planning office; Henry L. Gantt, who provided useful charts to improve scheduling decision-making, and Selmer M. Johnson, who wrote a highly influential paper on the mathematical analysis of production scheduling problems. The paper also describes the perspectives that these three represent and discusses how these perspectives can help one improve production scheduling.

This paper presents an alternative method using artificial neural network (ANN) to develop a scheduling scheme which is used to determine the makespan or cycle time of a group of jobs going through a series of stages or workstations. The common conventional method uses mathematical programming techniques and presented in Gantt charts forms. The contribution of this paper is in three fold. First...
متن کاملIntegrated Procurement, Production and Delivery Scheduling in a Generalized three Stage Supply Chain
In this research, we investigate a three-stage supply chain with one supplier, several manufacturers and multiple retailers where the supplier provides a common raw material to each manufacturer, who in turn uses a single stage production facility to convert it into final products that are delivered at fixed lot sizes to retailers. An integrated economic procurement, production, and delivery mo...
متن کاملLiveGantt: Interactively Visualizing a Large Manufacturing Schedule
In this paper, we introduce LiveGantt as a novel interactive schedule visualization tool that helps users explore highly-concurrent large schedules from various perspectives. Although a Gantt chart is the most common approach to illustrate schedules, currently available Gantt chart visualization tools suffer from limited scalability and lack of interactions. LiveGantt is built with newly design...
