A fundamental framework that provides an integrated view of production planning and control from the enterprise level is described. The framework provides coordination of activities among functional units to achieve a tactical goal as well as linkage between operational control at the functional level and strategic consideration at the enterprise level. Such a framework is realized by SIMEMS, which draws on AI, OR, system analysis, database, and user interface technology. >read more

ISIS—a knowledge‐based system for factory scheduling
Mark S. Fox,Stephen F. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: This paper describes ISIS, a scheduling system capable of incorporating all relevant constraints in the construction of job shop schedules, and examines both the representation of constraints within ISIS, and the manner in which these constraints are used in conducting a constraint-directed search for an acceptable schedule.

Programming of Economic Lot Sizes
TL;DR: This paper studies the planning problem faced by a machine shop required to produce many different items so as to meet a rigid delivery schedule, remain within capacity limitations, and at the same time minimize the use of premium-cost overtime labor.

An Efficient Algorithm for Multi-Item Scheduling
Leon S. Lasdon,R. C. Terjung +1 more
TL;DR: A number of resource-allocation problems, including that of multi-item scheduling, may be solved approximately as large linear programs, as in Manne, using the Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition principle.
