Abstract
In this paper we address a scheduling problem encountered in a manufacturing company producing sewing machine parts. The production system is a dual resource constrained job shop with the characteristics of sequence-independent set-up time, make-to-order policy, and equal-sized transfer batch. A scheduling rule composed of due-date assignment, job dispatching, labour assignment, and arrival-time determination rules is proposed to obtain a better mean absolute lateness performance for the company. A post-implementation study shows that the application of the scheduling rule is satisfactory.
