Reactive Recovery from Machine Breakdown in Production Scheduling with Temporal Distance and Resource Constraints

Abstract

One of the classical problems of real-life production scheduling is dynamics of manufacturing environments with new production demands coming and breaking machines during the schedule execution. Simple rescheduling from scratch in response to unexpected events occurring on the shop floor may require excessive computation time. Moreover, the recovered schedule may be deviated prohibitively from the ongoing schedule. This paper studies two methods how to modify a schedule in response to a resource failure: rightshift of affected activities and simple temporal network recovery. The importance is put on the speed of the rescheduling procedures as well as on the minimum deviation from the original schedule. The scheduling model is motivated by the FlowOpt project, which is based on Temporal Networks with Alternatives and supports simple temporal constraints between the activities.
