Abstract

This study deals with scheduling groups of jobs, their arrival and delivery, and individual processing of each of them. All jobs in a group should be delivered at the same time after processing. The author presents a novel way of modeling and decision support—an integrated declarative approach. This approach includes the modeling and solving of the problem in the integrated environment, composed of MP (Mathematical Programming) and CLP (Constraint Logic Programming). In addition, the paper proposes the transformation and linearization of the model in CLP/MP environment and implementation framework. Opportunity to ask questions and receive quick answers, taking into account any constraints, conditions and dynamics, constitutes an invaluable support to the manager.
