Optimizing Schedule in Furniture Planning

Abstract

The methodology for developing the production system schedules from a project management perspective is being investigated. System orders are considered to be potentially parallel projects that share the same resources. The mechanics of manufacturing controls are discussed in an existing project management package. Order input to the network is envisaged via the web and, after generation or re-generation of schedules, the estimated fulfilment period and delivery date for each order should be accessible via the internet again. Both ideas were described on the basis of real data from a security door supplier operating a make-from-stock, process-oriented production program. The system provides, on the one hand, the approximate (calculated) completion time of each task and, on the other, the assignment of daily work to assets. Nonetheless, it would have trouble performing more than 3000 activities with concurrent asset scaling.
