CP-Based Decision Support for Project Driven Manufacturing

  • Chapter
Perspectives in Modern Project Scheduling

Part of the book series: International Series in Operations Research & Management Science ((ISOR,volume 92))

Abstract

Some of the most challenging issues that arise in the domain of distributed manufacturing technology and management include manufacturability analysis, validation and evaluation of process plans, partnership in virtual enterprises, process design, and optimization of production plans and schedules. These issues are easily unified within a framework of a project-driven manufacturing concept which is focusing on small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) where products are manufactured based on make-to-order or build-to-order principle.

Regardless of character and scope of business activities a modern enterprise, has to build a project-driven development strategy in order to respond to challenges imposed by growing complexity and globalization. Managers need to be able to utilize a modern decision support tools as to undertake optimal business decisions in further strategic perspective of enterprise operation. In this context this contribution covers various issues of project management engineering while focusing in the field of Project-Driven Manufacturing, particularly in domains regarding the development of novel constraint programming based mathematical models and related decision-making methods as well as their implementation into the task oriented decision support systems aimed at project-driven SMEs management.
