| Abstract: | Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) plants are required to be highly flexible due to their multiproduct nature and frequent portfolio changes with seasons or consumer preferences. The multipurpose nature of equipment units usually results in changeover activities which can increase the production scheduling model's size significantly. The objective of this paper is to present two approaches to decrease the number of changeover activities. |
