Manufacturing Scheduling Systems: An Integrated View on Models, Methods and Tools by Jose M. Framinan, Rainer Leisten and Rubén Ruiz García
The book is devoted to the problem of
manufacturing scheduling, which is the efficient allocation of jobs
(orders) over machines (resources) in a manufacturing facility. It
offers a comprehensive and integrated perspective on the different
aspects required to design and implement systems to efficiently and
effectively support manufacturing scheduling decisions. Obtaining
economic and reliable schedules constitutes the core of excellence in
customer service and efficiency in manufacturing operations. Therefore,
scheduling forms an area of vital importance for competition in
manufacturing companies. However, only a fraction of scheduling research
has been translated into practice, due to several reasons. First, the
inherent complexity of scheduling has led to an excessively fragmented
field in which different sub problems and issues are treated in an
independent manner as goals themselves, therefore lacking a unifying
view of the scheduling problem. Furthermore, mathematical brilliance and
elegance has sometimes taken preference over practical, general
purpose, hands-on approaches when dealing with these problems. Moreover,
the paucity of research on implementation issues in scheduling has
restricted translation of valuable research insights into industry.
"Manufacturing Scheduling Systems: An Integrated View on Models, Methods and Tools" presents the different elements constituting a scheduling system, along with an analysis the manufacturing context in which the scheduling system is to be developed. Examples and case studies from real implementations of scheduling systems are presented in order to drive the presentation of the theoretical insights. The book is intended for an ample readership including industrial engineering/operations post-graduate students and researchers, business managers, and readers seeking an introduction to the field.
