Abstract

For the production scheduling of bottleneck of pulling production systems with resource constraints, a time-margin-based heuristic algorithm (TMBHA) is proposed to realize the optimization of facility utilization and intermediate inventory based on discrete-event simulation. Compared with manual scheduling and genetic algorithm (GA), the result shows TMBHA is effective in the aspect of efficiency and computation time.
