Abstract

See full text

A conceptual decision analysis tool for production dispatch process is used to evaluate alternatives during a production process and generate an optimum path to follow after a process disruption at a given production center in order to maintain the promised due date. The objective is not only to decide on a dispatch rule to be followed for an order under progress at a given work center in the event of a disruption, but also to re-analyze dispatch rules for existing orders waiting in line to be processed at that work center. In the event of production stoppage or disruption, this system analyzes the revised sequence for orders in progress as well as passes the recommended results to a planning system so that this information can be used to re-plan the release sequence of orders waiting for release. This provides a feedback control mechanism and an element of artificial intelligence.
