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.
