Abstract

In this paper two different approaches to planning and scheduling in the classicalmanufacturing systems are overviewed. Based on these approaches, a planning and scheduling methodology for Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) is presented. One of the most important problems in the FMS methodology, the machine loading problem, is discussed to a great extent. Four models of the loading problem are formulated. Some of the algorithms for solving the loading problems are also discussed.
