Abstract

This paper introduces a new approach to continuous-time optimal scheduling problems for a large class of manufacturing systems. This class belongs to a make-to-order production environment, based on multi-level bills of materials, flexible flow shops with setup effects and finite cpacities on the shop floor. So far the setup and production planning had to be decomposed into two levels; the present model allows treating these two issues on one level, thus potentially achieving better production results. The proposed aproach states the problem in terms of optimal control and investigates control straregies by means of the maximum principle for the problems with constraintson state variables.
