Production Scheduling for Sustainable Manufacturing Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper we investigate the elaboration of an efficient production schedule for sustainable manufacturing systems. Because renewable energies are irregular by nature as they often depend on meteorological conditions (e.g. wind and solar energy), their use in the competitive field of manufacturing production must be addressed with caution. The challenge is to elaborate a reliable production schedule that accommodates energy stochastic fluctuations while satisfying customer and operational constraints. We propose to solve the problem using a meta-heuristic based on Tabu search and discuss major elements that are critical to the success of this approach.
