Abstract
Most scheduling papers consider flexible machining and assembly systems as being independent. In this paper, a heuristic two-level scheduling algorithm for a system consisting of a machining and an assembly subsystem is developed. It is shown that the upper level problem is equivalent to the two machine flow shop problem. The algorithm at the lower level schedules jobs according to the established product and part priorities. Related issues, such as batching, due dates, process planning and alternative routes, are discussed. The algorithm and associated concepts are illustrated on a number of numerical examples.
