Abstract

The main objective of this paper consists on presenting an application of The Hodgson’s manufacturing scheduling algorithm applied on a production system model, through simulation technique. The simulation, executed on Arena, is applied to a model of a production environment for producing three new products, by using five different components. The components are processed on several work centres, which include different machines, organized on a job shop environment. The Hodgson’s algorithm is applied on a particular machine of the job shop, which consists on a bottleneck, and the main objective consists on minimizing the total number of tardy jobs on that bottleneck machine.
