We consider the problem of scheduling multiple, large-scale, make-to-order assemblies under resource, assembly area, and part availability constraints. Such problems typically occur in the assembly of high volume, discrete make-to-order products. Based on a list scheduling procedure which has...

The problem of scheduling multiple, large scale, make-to-order assemblies is considered. Beside "classical" precedence- and resource constraints as known from resource constrained project scheduling we take spatial resource and part availability constraints into account. The objective is to...

In diesem Beitrag zeigen wir, wie die Planungsqualität in einem Unternehmen durch die Integration der Ablaufplanung in die Losgrößenplanung erheblich gesteigert wurde. Gegenstand der Untersuchung war eine Fräsmaschine mit reihenfolgeabhängigen Rüstkosten und Rüstzeiten, wobei für einige...

Complexity proofs often restrict themselves to stating that the problem at hand is a generalization of some other intractable problem, This proof technique relies on the widely accepted assumptions that complexity results hold regardless of the model formulation used to represent the problem and...
