A Production Scheduling Framework Integrated with Simulation Module

Abstract:

It is necessary to achieve high system performances in terms of throughput rate and service level in today’s business environment. This can be achieved by implementing efficient and effective production planning methods complemented with precise and fast scheduling predictions. A framework is proposed to integrate real-time production data, scheduling mechanisms and simulation for providing realistic scheduling policies that could be used for operational and tactical decision-making. The focus is on the use of discrete event simulation utilizing relevant shop floor data, provided by an ERP system. A primary objective is to evaluate and characterize scheduling policies in a discrete manufacturing environment.
