Master Scheduling in Assemble‐To‐Order Environments: A Capacitated Multiobjective Lot‐Sizing Model
针对按订单装配环境，提出一个结合多目标能力约束批量模型与交互式优化方法的主生产调度技术，并在NCR电子制造厂验证其实际效果。
ABSTRACT Basic characteristics of an assemble‐to‐order environment make effective master scheduling extremely difficult. Limited resource capacities and dynamic customer end‐item demand contribute to the complexity of the master production scheduling problem. To gain flexibility and responsiveness within this system, the master production schedule (MPS) focuses at the component level. This research proposes a master scheduling technique for manufactured components which combines a multiobjective capacitated multi‐item/multi‐stage lot‐sizing model with an interactive multiple objective optimization solution procedure. To evaluate the model's performance as a realistic and practical master scheduling tool, this study focuses on the National Cash Register (NCR) electronics manufacturing facility in Columbia, South Carolina.
