| Abstract | In job shop environment, production scheduling and sequencing is a crucial issue which directly affects the efficiency and effectiveness of the manufacturing system. At present, most factories, still face with many difficulties in their production scheduling due to the complexity of the manufacturing system. All these things lead to ineffective utilization of resources in the shop floor and shortages of subassemblies bringing about lost of profit. This study presents the development of a scheduling system for job shop environment. The system can handle many of the characteristics in the job shop environment. The common characteristics found in industry included in this system are precedence and machine capacity constraints, bill of materials (BOM), multi-machine in each of work center, set up time, lot size, and on-hand inventory. The schedules can be generated in either forward or backward direction. The algorithm used is based on the Giffler and Thomson algorithm implemented with priority dispatching rules. The system is implementation in C# with Visual Studio.NET. A database is provided to store the static and dynamic information about the machines, processes, operations, products structures and demand. The system allows schedulers to produce detailed manufacturing schedule for machines to meet market demand with ease. The system also provides numerical and graphical reports for effective shop floor management and control |
