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,...

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...
