Abstract:

In this chapter the order scheduling problem at the factory level is investigated. Various uncertainties are considered and described as random variables. A mathematical model for this order scheduling problem is presented with the objectives of maximizing the total satisfaction level of all orders and minimizing their total throughput time. Uncertain completion time and beginning time of production process are derived from probability theory. A genetic algorithm is developed to seek after the optimal order scheduling ...
