Abstract
This paper discusses the use of the finite capacity planning model as a basis for a job-shop
scheduling system. The suitability of this approach for constructing short term schedules
with very short lead times is examined. This paper introduces a rule-based scheduling
system whose operation, unlike previous monolithic schedulers, is based around distinct
though interlinked processes. Scheduling herein is defined as the selection of a set of orders
for manufacture, and the allocation of processing time to each on an acyclic network of
processing resources. The objectives are, firstly, compliance with all customer deadlines
and, secondly, the efficient utilisation of available machine time and prevailing machine
setups.
