Chapter 19Operations Scheduling Work Center Defined Typical Scheduling and Control Functions Job-shop Scheduling Examples of Scheduling Rules Shop-floor Control Principles of Work Center Scheduling Issues in Scheduling Service Personnel Work CenterDefined A work center: an area in a business in which productive resources are organized and work is completed. May be a single machine, a group of machines, or an area where a particular type of work is done. Capacity and Scheduling Infinite loading (Example: MRP) Finite loading Forward scheduling Backward scheduling (Example: MRP) Typical Scheduling and Control Functions Allocating orders, equipment, and personnel. Determining the sequence of order performance. Initiating performance of the scheduled work. Shop-floor control. Work-Center Scheduling Objectives Priority Rules for Job Sequencing 1. First-come, first-served (FCFS) 2. Shortest operating time (SOT) 3. Last-come, first served (LCFS) 4. Earliest due date first (EDD) Many other possible rules... Schedule Performance Measures Meeting due dates Minimizing the flow time Minimizing work-in-process Minimizing idle time Example of Job Sequencing: First-Come First-Served Example of Job Sequencing: Shortest Operating Time Example of Job Sequencing:Last-Come First-Served Example of Job Sequencing: Earliest Due Date First Summary Shop-Floor Control:Major Functions 1. Assigning priority of each shop order. 2. Maintaining work-in-process quantity information. 3. Conveying shop-order status information to the office. Shop-Floor Control:Major Functions (Continued) 4. Providing actual output data for capacity control purposes. 5. Providing quantity by location by shop order for WIP inventory and accounting purposes. 6. Providing measurement of efficiency, utilization, and productivity of manpower and machines. Input/Output Control Planned input should never exceed planned output. Focuses attention on bottleneck work centers. Principles of
