This paper investigates the effects of dynamic due-date assignment models (DDDAMs), routing flexibility levels (RFLs), sequencing flexibility levels (SFLs) and part sequencing rules (PSRs) on the performance of a flexible manufacturing system (FMS). The existing DDDAMs considered are dynamic...

The present paper focuses on a simulation-based experimental study of scheduling decision rules for scheduling a typical dynamic flexible job shop production system. The case of partial flexibility is considered wherein an operation can be performed on three different machines. Each operation...

This paper presents the salient aspects of a simulation study conducted to investigate the interaction between due-date assignment methods and scheduling rules in a typical dynamic job shop production system. The due-date assignment methods investigated are dynamic processing plus waiting time,...
