Abstract
Bottle blowing machine manufacturers adopt a hybrid production mode that combines pre-releasing and make-to-order production. However, pre-releasing decision making depends too much on personal experience resulting in inefficiency. In order to improve the efficiency, this paper proposes a heuristic pre-releasing order strategy for bottle blowing machine manufacturers. The strategy establishes a mathematical model for pre-releasing in bottle blowing machine manufacturers, and works out the solution to the established mathematical model with branch and bound algorithm. Simulation studies are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. It shows that the results are promising as compared to the experience strategy.
