Production scheduling and control technologies: a systematic literature review

Abstract

Recent works have been directed towards the development of new scheduling and control of production processes technologies. The increasing complexity in production demands more dynamicity in decision making. In this context, this work aims to systematically classify published literature and report the state of the art in cyberphysical systems and industry 4.0. Regarding scheduling and control, this work encompasses concepts and studies the convergence of different research themes, contextualizing its potential. Main trends will be outlined and application areas will be investigated. On this direction, the work identifies the current gaps and discusses future prospects.
