Abstract
The skilled workers-based scheduling method was developed using the evaluation of workers skill levels and the application of genetic algorithm. The scheduling method was presented through the workers gantt-chart. The scheduling performance indexes were evaluated by a free time index (FTI), a skill level index (SLI), and a working time index (TWI). The results showed that the maximum of FTI and the SLI indicated significant improvement in production efficiency. Additionally, the lowest of a TWI indicated the minimum differences among man-hour of workers.
