Abstract:This paper analyses the issue of ensuring enhanced productivity and robustness to work schedules designed for multi-operational batch production processes, when a fixed, limited number of workstations can be used for production. The productivity of a batch production schedule for a specific quantity of items is measured by the length of its cycle time, while the robustness of the schedule is given by the size and distribution of operational slack times that are ensured during the production process run. It is … Show more
