Abstract
The design of optimal production procedures is a factory planner’s most important and central duty. It is accompanied by various obstacles such as factory-specific restrictions and conflicting partial production goals which need to be taken into account. Besides, as soon as an ideal status seems to have been finally achieved, the goal posts are moved again: Customers’ wishes, production technologies, legal requirements and/or other significant influencing factors are subject to constant change. Accordingly, the never-ending task of production optimization and its requirements on factory planning are ever present in all factory operations.
