Abstract:
A solution for scheduling execution of jobs is proposed. In this case, a long-term plan expressed in terms of streams of jobs is created in advance (for example, for some months). An actual production plan (for a production period P(p) typically of one day) is then generated by extracting a corresponding portion of the long-term plan and expanding the streams into their jobs. In the proposed solution, a policy for the long-term plan is defined; for example, this policy specifies a minimum length L(min) and a maximum length L(max) of the long-term plan. The (remaining) length of the long-term plan is checked after each generation of the production plan; if the long-term plan is shorter than the minimum length L (min), it is expanded automatically up to the maximum length L(max).
