Abstract

In this chapter, we keep addressing a number of issues related to the development of a manufacturing scheduling system. While in the previous chapters the functionalities of such system have been described in detail, here we focus on the process of making the system work in the shop floor. Different issues in this process (such as data, constraints, models, etc.) are discussed.
