Production planning and scheduling with the aid of software tools in today?s
manufacturing industries have become a common practice which is indispensable
for providing high level customer service, and at the same time to utilize the
production resources, like workforce, machine tools, raw materials, energy, etc.,
efficiently. To meet the new requirements, problem modeling tools, optimization
techniques, and visualization of data and results have become part of the software
packages. In this chapter some recent developments in problem modeling and optimization
techniques applied to important and challenging industrial planning and
scheduling problems are presented. We will focus on new problem areas which are
still at the edge of current theoretical research, but they are motivated by practical
needs. On the one hand, we will discuss project based production planning, and on
the other hand, we will tackle a resource leveling problems in a machine environment.
We will present the problems, some modeling and solution approaches, and
various extensions and applications.
