Abstract

This paper presents the architecture of an interactive scheduling decision support system (ISDSS) allowing users to find the optimal solution for fertilizer production on parallel heterogeneous processors. The proposed approach takes into account different production process constraints such as launch time, delivery date, preventive maintenance and the impact of scheduling on supply chain management. The ISDSS implemented is run by a relational database used to customize the structural data and the problem parameters. A user interface is available for ISDSS users to define the scheduling problem and design the solution based on tables and graphs for detecting possible issues. The ISDSS architecture was implemented on java using independent modules.
