Abstract
Distributed manufacturing scheduling is increasingly necessary in nowadays global manufacturing environments and assumes primal importance to ensure enhanced solutions for such globally distributed manufacturing scheduling problems. In this chapter an approach based on a dynamic multi-criteria decision model is proposed, which enables (re)scheduling strategies and trade-offs between different performance measures. In this dynamically changing environment, real-time changes may occur in production and there is a need for a global view and manufacturing (re)scheduling to improve the globally distributed manufacturing scenario. The approach main aim is to support scheduling decision making, namely through reliable and timely deliveries, as well as improved manufacturing management of available resources. An illustrative example, integrating a set of manufacturing cells is provided to clarify the approach.
