Book cover Manufacturing Scheduling Systems

Abstract

In this chapter, we approach for the first time the integration of the three elements discussed in precedent chapters (i.e. models, methods and tools) in a manufacturing scheduling system. To do so, we need to gain an in-depth understanding on how the manufacturing scheduling process is carried out and how the three elements can contribute to improve this process.
