Tiivistelmä: | To solve a scheduling problem in a food-processing company where production is organized as a flow shop, the author applied a theoretical scheduling approach that realized cost savings. The plant manufactures and packs three kinds of products. The plant uses a special multipack facility to pack the mono and variety packs. Scheduling the multipack operation is a major problem because many products and brands must be packed into the various outer bags. |
