Characteristics of computerized scheduling and control of manufacturing systems

  • Chapter

Abstract

This chapter discusses the unique characteristics of computer controlled scheduling (CCS). The uniqueness arises from the assumption that only limited human intervention is allowed during the operation of the system. In particular, emphasis is given to the complexity resulting from the explicit consideration of general resource models, the use of flexible and programmable technologies, and the short-term nature of the decisions.
