Simulation of Less Master Production Schedule Nervousness Model

Schedule Nervousness Reduction in Transport Re-Planning

This article reports about investigations on a transport scheduling scenario. The generated schedule requires a repeated revision in order to incorporate additionally released requests. Neither the release time nor the location of the associated customer site can be forecasted. Special attention is paid to keep the generated schedules stable, which means that once made scheduling decisions shou...

“Master Production Schedule Stability Under Conditions of Finite Capacity”

In this article, we propose a new way to improve master production schedule (MPS) stability under conditions of finite capacity. The purpose is to optimize product availability and customer service for typical situations encountered in the consumer goods industry. Using a comprehensive MPS model, we conduct a simulation study with experimental design to identify factors having a significant inf...

Revising the master production schedule in sequence dependent processes

Revising the master production schedule (MPS) in a rolling planning horizon environment to improve plant performance is critical in process industries with sequence dependent changeovers. Plant performance is defined in terms of process changeover time, total shortages, and finished goods inventory. Two heuristics for revising the MPS are introduced and tested against a rolling horizon MPS that...
