Dynamic management of a portfolio of orders

We survey the main results of the PhD Thesis presented by the author in December 2003 at The Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble. This work was supervised by Prof. Lionel Dupont and assistant professor Christophe Rapine. The thesis is written in French and is available at http: //gilco.inpg.fr. In this work, we present results on the problem of selection and scheduling of orders in a make to order production environment. We proposed exact methods and heuristic approaches for the resolution of the problem in a static context and a static iterative algorithm for a dynamic context.Received: November 2004, AMS classification: 90C27, 90B35
