Model of multidimensional resource configuration in production scheduling: proactive and reactive approach

Modern manufacturing systems are characterized by a high degree of automation and robotization as well as saturation with IT technologies such as IoT, Cloud Computing, RFID, etc. This results in shortening both production cycles and supply chains It also means that the classic approach to resources as well as planning and scheduling processes has to be changed. The multidimensionality of resources, their high configurability and a proactive and reactive approach to planning and scheduling are the main elements of these changes. The paper considers the problem of schedule robustness in relation to the availability of multidimensional resources. A model of multidimensional resource configuration was proposed, which is the basis of a proactive -reactive robust approach to planning/scheduling in the context of manufacturing problems. There is also presented implementation of the model using mathematical programming and a proprietary hybrid approach Copyright (C) 2021 The Authors.
