Fuzzy Logic-Based Production Scheduling and Rescheduling in the Presence of Uncertainty

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Planning Production and Inventories in the Extended Enterprise

Abstract

Production scheduling represents a major administrative and management issue in modern production planning and control. Ever since the first results of modern scheduling theory appeared some 50 years ago, scheduling research has attracted a lot of attention from both academia and industry. The diversity of scheduling problems, the large-scale dimension and dynamic nature of many modern problem-solving environments make this a very complex and difficult research area.
