Applying AI to Manufacturing: Linear Order Promising and Production Planning

Short Presentations: Papers (Refereed)

In this paper, I introduced a novel modeling approach that applies some AI modeling techniques to Manufacturing Modeling, allows to avoid the exponential blow-up for re-configurable products and captures the AND/OR-logic without additional modeling efforts. Furthermore, we state a simple, realistic resource sharing assumption. For the introduced type of models, we construct Order Promising and resource allocation (scheduling) procedures that are linear under the stated assumption for any homogeneous objective function.
