This article reports results of applying the SCDA single-stage job shop scheduler for the purpose of scheduling a CNC job shop. The downloadable tool, available under below link, was used to schedule a 3-day production time horizon in a CNC…
Job shop scheduling is a challenging problem for mathematical programming. Yet, when applicable, the operational impact can be great. In today’s blog post I will contribute to this topic with a technical example covering genetic job scheduling. A simple job…
Mathematical programming is a powerful tool for supply chain management and production planning. It can also be used for job shop scheduling, next to other popular application domains such as network design and pricing. Application of mathematical programming to job…
I am following up on my recent simplified job shop simulation example in SimPy. Today I want to show you how you can collect simulation data in a SimPy simulation model. I will use the data for data visualization. As…
Discrete-event simulation (DES) can be applied to a wide range of industries and domains where events occur in a discrete, sequential manner. It is applied when a system is so complex that it cannot be understood or solved with analytical…
