Abstract
Abstract Rescheduling in near real-time is a problem faced by real batch shop managers. Due to the short lead time, the complexity, the volume of information and lack of planning tools, shop foremen are forced to resolve the problem with little more than intuition and experience. Although much research has been done on the problem of scheduling Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) the results are not applicable to the general batch shop. We delineate the problem of FMS scheduling as a class distinct from the general batch shop scheduling problem and identify reasons for this lack of suitability.
