The Production Scheduling Problem of Aluminum Casting Based on Theory of Constraints

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on explaining characteristics of aluminum production process and management, this paper built a production scheduling model of the aluminum casting with its equipment constrains and process constraints, discussed the optimization strategy of the production scheduling for aluminum casting.
