Abstract

Decision support tools are essential to help the management of industrial systems at different levels: strategic to size the system; tactical to plan activities or assign resources; operational to schedule activities. We present a generic and modular decision support tool to solve different problems of planning, assignment, scheduling, or lot-sizing. Our tool uses a hybridization between a metaheuristic and a list algorithm. The specification of the considered problem is taken into account in the list algorithm. Several tactical and operational problems have been solved with our tool: a problem of planning activities with resources assignment for hospital systems, a lot-sizing and scheduling problem taking into account the setup time for a textile application and for a plastic injection problem, and a scheduling problem with precedence constraints. At the strategic level, this tool can also be used as part of Industry 4.0 to design reconfigurable manufacturing systems. This paper summarizes some problems solved with the proposed tool and presents its evolution.
