Abstract: | A multistage, multiproduct production scheduling with limited in-process buffers between the successive stages is considered. An assignment of products to machines over a scheduling horizon, which minimizes the completion time of the production order, with in-process inventory holding costs as low as possible is aimed to determine. Multilevel integer programmes are used, each of which is concerned with scheduling a different stage of production. A hierarchical scheduling algorithm and an example for a three-stage production is presented. |
