Predictive Scheduling as a Part of Intelligent Job Scheduling System

Production processes are inseparably connected with numerous factors hindering their course. It is therefore essential to ensure that the process is carried out with no disruptions, which demands that these are identified and compensated for in advance. This paper presents intelligent job scheduling system under uncertainty. The first section gives a brief overview of job scheduling in manufacturing. The second section examines robust scheduling as a solution to production process disruptions. Furthermore, the idea of predictive/reactive scheduling is presented, highlighting the essence of predictive scheduling in a production process with two-factor uncertainty.
