Abstract
This case study concerns support for customised solving of a production planning and scheduling problem in the piece-part medium-sized manufacturing company. To make the best use of an advanced scheduling tool and to find an optimal configuration of its rules and parameters, modular simulation models of the entire business/production process and production anodising stage are developed. Planning scenarios intended for optimising business processes in the company and different sequencing rules to improve processing of production orders are analysed. The improved approach and its benefits in practice are described.
