Enterprise-Wide Scheduling Framework Supported by Knowledge Management

Abstract

The scheduling function determines the amount of each product to produce, the allocation of equipment and resources to tasks, as well as the sequencing and timing of such tasks, in order to fulfill plan production objectives. A knowledge-based model has been created relying on rigorous analysis of existing process scheduling models. Likewise, a reasoning tool has been developed for matching the system and scheduling task features to previously existing mathematical models. As a result, a model selection can be obtained based on features matching.
