The SCP Optimized Scheduling module provides attribute-based job sequencing capabilities.
Every item or job has certain characteristics or attributes that impact
the costs associated with producing that item. Transitioning from one
job to the next on a machine or other resource can incur high costs in
clean-up time, set-up time, scrap, etc. It is critical that the
sequencing of jobs on a machine be done in such a way that these
transition costs are kept to a minimum while also factoring in capacity
and raw material constraints, job due dates, transit schedules, and
business rules that will differ from one business to the next.
Known constraints (capacity, raw materials) from
the
SCP Constraint Control Center,
highly
configurable
attribute-by-item settings, run
speeds, setup change-over matrixes,
customizable
business rule processes and other applicable data
is fed
into the SCP
meta-heuristic optimizer
engine to produce a cost and
service efficient
schedule.
