Abstract

The development of a rule based Expert System (ES), driven by a discrete event simulation model, that performs dynamic shop scheduling is described. Based on a flowtime prediction heuristic that we have developed and base-line runs to establish the efficacy of scheduling strategies such as SPT, Critical Ratio, Total Work etc, a re-scheduling based dispatching strategy is investigated in a dynamic job shop environment. The results are discussed and analyzed.
