Abstract: | Traditionally, part dispatching has been done using static rules, rules that fail to take advantage of the dynamic nature of today’s manufacturing systems. In modern manufacturing systems, machines carry multiple tools so parts have the option of being machined at more than one machine. This flexibility, termed routing flexibility in the literature, opens up new possibilities for shop floor planners for the scheduling and dispatching of parts. |
